some of the best in the city

yeah those dudes are great. i've gone to a couple local zoning meetings where they have given their proposals for different projects - they always listen to the feedback, even from the old-heads who hate the new projects.

i'm waiting for them to buy the strip club, bare elegance (at richmond and allegheny), and flip it into a dolphin-type club.

norris square is absolutely going to change, but i don't see it becoming a hipster strip. the redevelopment over that way is too big money.

port richmond has way more of an organic thing going on. it's the same shit that made fishtown pop off 15 years ago. follow the music (launderette // lunar), booze (lunar, tin can bar, donna's, corner bar, bonks), and food (pizza richmond, lunar, nemi), art (tshakeshke, corpse flower, tattoo collective).

my prediction is bare elegance (strip club at richmond and allegheny) gets flipped into a dolphin-type place and that's what makes the neighborhood completely tip.

I feel like a lot of people on this sub really don't know what fishtown was like before 2010 - it absolutely had the same vibe as port richmond in the 2000s (even into the early 2010s). every bar was a locals-only corner bar and if you weren't from fishtown originally, you got looked at like you had a third eye. it was a working class neighborhood for generations.

that said, port richmond not having easy access to the el is an issue. the trolley will help though.

the barbary also deserves it's credit. when ownership flipped in 2007/2008, it really pushed fishtown as a destination. clubs like that simply didn't exist in philly before that time.

a frame is absolutely the driving force behind richmond street right now. they are snapping up whatever property they can - revitalizing // redeveloping it and making sure that cool tenants are getting put it. they're doing a great job.

fuck

their socials are pretty good. their tik tok account "talks shit" on other nyc skyscrapers - it's fucking hilarious.

so funny to think back on that place being an oversized pasta joint.

i wonder what exists now that might be used as a completely different venue in 10-15 years.

there aren't

can you be sure to do that again next sunday and two sundays after that?

i agree with your sentiment, but people who park on sidewalks probably don't even know what the ADA is.

i don't hesitate to shit on Penn kids, but to be fair UPenn does have a policy for offering up to 100% financial aid packages based on need for candidates that meet the guidelines. Essentially Penn can be almost free for those that come from the "bottom" income-wise.

bombing uh, i mean shooting uh, i mean stabbing?

my family in mt. airy gets takeout from cin cin, up in chestnut hill

that spot (mercer cafe) is great for breakfast and debbie's place right across from it is also a good / cheap lunch place.

fyi - he's not taking new customers until 2023.
