I did a drive-through one time for work - we were considering buying a whole real estate portfolio of Section 8 housing in one contiguous neighborhood. At 11am on a Tuesday there were hundreds of people outside on lawn chairs drinking beer. Also, the brains of the operation was a Widener graduate (college in Chester) who wanted to do right for the city. I forget why we didn't go for it, but it was at the time when the soccer team was approved but not yet building. One friend we dealt with has an office in Chester but he was right on the water and nobody ever crossed over 95 to the side where people lived. There was one grocery store (now zero I think) in the city. It's just sad what happens when people have no no incentive to work. I can't see it coming back any time soon.

You're blaming Chester's current condition, on that?
