yeah, that stretch of bryn mawr is pretty sad with vacant storefronts these days.

but don't sleep on Bryn Mawr Breakfast Club. it's an excellent brunch spot with a great patio in back.

the next time you're up in North Park, check out the retail strip of foster between northeastern and north park university. it's way more occupied than bryn mawr.
