They moved down to snyder and 2nd. Where the post office is

They had a “fire” last July. Second one in as many years. This one seemed to do the trick and they closed shop “temporarily” for repairs.

Dude has waited all winter to leave his mom's basement to post these stickers.

goddamned tragedy

I just the other day saw that strip mall is empty. What happened to Uncle Oogie’s??

I didn’t create this… the boomers and geriatrics of gen x have… leave us millennials and the younger folx outta it

I saw a guy beating on cars in that lot about a month ago, for no reason other than drugs/mental illness

This is Lew Blum's city, we all just live in it

It feels like a waste of space. There’s not enough incentive to build, or too much incentive to hold

most of the negative comments are because people from the suburbs find it very easy to go to Wells Fargo Center and park. That’s what they’re used to. That’s what they are comfortable with.

When they upgraded my water meter last year the actual measuring device with the spinning dials was kept in place. They only replaced the radio transmitter attached to it

Is south filthy on oregon ave across from the new aldis, the only remaining business in the small strip mall is china house, parking lot is full. Uncle oogies left, pretzel factory left, jackson hewitt left, pella, all gone.

The Sixers are not a charity, they’re a sport organization. I don’t know why people are expecting them to act like Habitat for Humanity, even though they’re more than happy to invest 50M+ into the community…

Like it or not, the Sixers will not play in South Philly after 2030. Whether we lose million of tax revenue to Camden due to these bad faith arguments will be another story for later on.

Because people are arguing in bad faith. An even better question to ask is: WHAT kind of proposal would Chinatown be okay with at this parcel? The way it’s currently zoned, any developer could plant a 40+ story tower/condo there with zero community engagement needed. Is that not going to cause the same amount of outrage as this project, even after the Girard was just built across the street with zero issue? Is that a better deal than the 50M+ in community funds the Sixers could offer to Chinatown to invest in keeping the neighborhood intact?

That’s what I really want to know because the fact of the matter is the current use of 10th and Market as a mall failed twice and the owners want out ASAP. This parcel will be changing soon regardless of opinion.

Not necessarily. If you shift the tax burden from land + improvement to just land, most property taxes probably won't be impacted unless it's a vacant or underutilized lot. Usually a tax policy change like that would have to be done on a revenue neutral basis to prevent the average homeowner from seeing a big spike in taxes owed.
