I guess you didn't read about the daytime muggings from the local undesirables.

Seems like Googling is a lot safer than actually walking around west philly 
these days.

"one fun thing to try is google map. go to google and type in

'48th st and baltimore ave philadelphia', and when you see
the map click on it to enlarge it, and once you're at the
big map of 48th and baltimore click on 'find businesses' at
the top. you'll then get a search box where you can type in
all sorts of stuff (pizza, shoes, daycare, offices, plants)
to see what's around 48th and baltimore and what's not
around 48th and baltimore."

I have a funny suspicion that Melanie already has a
pretty good idea of what businesses exist near 48th and
Baltimore, and what might be likely to succeed there.





did you miss the part where I said it would be ONE FUN THING 
TO TRY?  I have a funny suspicion you did!

melani, it may be your wish to have an eatery at your space 
on 4800 baltimore, but I wouldn't be using jane jacobs as a 
reason to exclude other options. what she meant by 'lively' 
is what olin means by complex, diversified environments -- 
streets where different activities are going on at different 
times of the day, where different kinds of activities 
'dovetail' to create a true mix and mosaic of people, a 
dynamic ebb and flo...


given that there are already any number of eateries 
enlivening baltimore ave, you might do well to consider 
other uses that 'fill in the missing gaps'-- if, as you say, 
you're really interested in keeping balitimore avenue 
'lively.' it may be that this other use would bring more 
traffic at different hours than eateries, or different kinds 
of people, or provide functions that would compliment, 
rather than duplicate, those of restaurants. it may be that 
this other use would then bring a need for new businesses 
nearby that otherwise wouldn't come... etc. etc.


one fun thing to try is google map. go to google and type in 
'48th st and baltimore ave philadelphia', and when you see

Dock Street's food specialty will be PIZZA.   People of all ages, including 
children, will want to eat there.   It really will be for everybody.   Though 
you have a good point about not everything needing to be "family-friendly."   
In my business, we have to be careful about how we even use the word "family," 
since it may suggest that we are including only, or excluding, other 
individuals.   

Speaking of eateries, I'm still looking for just the right one for my 1500 sf 
commercial space at 4800 Baltimore Ave.   Has anyone on the list always had a 
dream of opening a restaurant?   And it would help if you're a good cook, and 
if you have the resources to build a kitchenor maybe you have a friend 
who'd like to do this?   I get phone calls all the time about the space, but
