Reply to comment by Ng3me in City Tap House to close University City location after 13 years by dissolutewastrel

They're actually redoing the McDonalds. Also if the dorm was actual housing I would like it. one of the more attractive examples of a 4 over 1 I have seen

I’m talking about the brick 4 story thing along most of the south side of that block of Walnut. It’s like a long rectangle. No entrances on the street or anything.

Yeah the streetscape on Walnut and Spruce are both pretty bad, but if you walk on locust its pretty nice, which i guess is the intention for those dorms and all the other buildings facing locust. If anything the grey hideosity on walnut opens up the street with the setback from the second story up.

I’m fine with the Radian, really. It’s good. The block is livelier now. The big steps are decent. People hangout there. It’s good. I wish Penn didn’t get rid of the park behind the library but whatever. There’s enough green space there.
