[UC] Zoning notice is up on Locust St side of former stores at 45th St SE corner

A zoning notice has been posted on the Locust Street side of what used to be three stores on the SE corner of 45th & Locust. Not much detail. Always at your service & ready for a dialog, Al Krigman -- 36-year local resident, involved with properties on the adjacent blocks of 45th St **

A zoning notice has been posted on the Locust Street side of what used to be three stores on the SE corner of 45th & Locust. Not much detail. Rumor has it that the "Other Green Line," currently located on the 4300 block of Locust, will be moving to this space. I noticed that when they cleane

Re: [UC] more on 'anchor institutions' and expansion moves

I think Penn owns the Walnut St. and 40th St. properties. I don't know about the Sansom St. shops. They have some character so It seems unlikely Penn owns the buildings. They wouldn't have left La Terrasse sit empty fort so long, either. If the Penn real estate folks are reading this: TLA V

Why not leave the 43xx Locust location open *and* open another one at 45th and Locust? It could be called "Yet Another Green Line". Although that might be a bit silly. Even Starbucks doesn't put locations that close together. Isabel On 9/20/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >

I was kind of hoping nobody would point that out... I work near there and patronize the 34th and Walnut Starbucks fairly regularly. I suspect I wouldn't use the 34th and Chestnut one because I am for vague, unsupportable ideological reasons opposed to the ridiculous prices at the apartment build

Re: [UC] more on 'anchor institutions' to "Mom & Pop"

If by 'on campus' we mean 'on Penn-owned property' (which would include much, but not all, of the 40th St. strip, for instance), then, by definition, yes, all Penn's commercial tenants are lessees of Penn. That is equally true of 'mom and pops' and of 'giant retail chains'. Penn, like any owne

It has the look of track work. I suspect total replacement. There is a construction trailer on 45th at Chester, and there was a public meeting on Tuesday which I did not attend. I get the impression that SEPTA does not plan to reinstall the "belgian blocks", but I could be wrong, since I did no

Isabel, Because of some kind of complex contractual issues, I think it's actually operated through the company that does all of Drexel's other food/dining services. I know that, unlike other Starbucks, the employees are not allow to solicit tips. Otherwise, same overpriced coffee and pretentious

Re: [UC] more on 'anchor institutions' to "Mom & Pop"

Not really tenants don't "belong to" their landlord. It's the ground and the buildings that belong to Penn. Penn has the right to wish for a particular mix of tenants and the power to try to wangle it. It may or may not work, depending on the marketplace and on Penn's competency. And its w

Dear Leila, For the short term check your lid. The Spin cycle will not work unless the machine recognizes the lid as closed. There might be a slot on the machine side and a 'male' part on the other side. Make sure the slot is not clotted with lint or soap. If you can't make it work with some cle

Re: [UC] more on 'anchor institutions' and expansion moves

Oh, yes! These three retail categories are killers. All of them have fled inner-city neighborhoods and all of them place mom-and-pop operations at a disadvantage in this decade. I sorely miss them, as I don't like trekking out to the malls for these items. The chief problem for University City
