As a reminder, here is what the rendering looks like:



Also, once I have some time (hopefully this weekend), I'm going to begin documenting development occurring in unexpected places--namely North and West Philly. I've been meaning to show y'all all of the market-rate development occurring north of Cecil B. Moore for a while now, and all of the development I saw happening in East Parkside has moved me to finally do it.
If they actually get Wawa as an anchor tenant in that thing it'll be a real coup for the area. That whole stretch of Girard, like similar stretches of Spring Garden and Washington, is also quite obviously severely underdeveloped, and I imagine the ongoing infill of North Broad will help push along redevelopment projects there.

Also that PCC car in the '80s livery is cute. There was a time when SEPTA's graphic design department was competent, you know.
