Yeah it looks like there might be a small space in between the building and the mural... hopefully that will be enough to hold back the Meg Saligman fans out there.
I live close by... hopefully this development will shut down the drug corner that's been operating there for decades. Also, this may seem a little insensitive to some, but the methadone clinic next door (which Jefferson snuck by the wash west civic assn by calling it the "Jefferson University Hospital Family Center") brings scallywags to the block who take advantage of the patients. The patients themselves are no picnic either. Yeah, I know, I'm an —.
The renovation of the Lincoln across the street is going at a snail's pace but is continuing as far as I know... someone involved told me there were many unexpected issues due to how long the building stood vacant with a big hole in it.... I hear that they are trying to avoid having to tear down the place. Overall, that particular corner is doing a hell of a lot better than it was even 10 years ago, but there is still progress to be made.
Now that this corner might be filled, its time to consider the parking lot in the middle of the 1300 block of Locust Street. Its managed by EZ Park but is owned by some old man in the suburbs who's been sitting on it since this was a revitalization zone in the early 80s.
