I don't know, I love change, but there's a lot to be said for NOT living in an expensive SF, Boston or DC neighborhood...if that makes any sense.
One reason you see all those restaruants popping up everywhere?

People aren't cooking at home like they used to.

It's a wonder why they go spending all that dough on granite countertops and restaurant-grade ranges when the restaurant already has a bigger stove anyway and doesn't need the countertops.

Food Fight at 40th and Walnut - Philadelphia Magazine


I used to frequent that Fresh Grocer and I could not stand it. I think Acme especially with the planned renovations would be a huge improvement.

Seems crazy that the lease dispute would actually go to trial.

In any case that store has been awful for years.

I'm so happy about it too. Live nearby and desperately need something like this, especially given the eyesore the lot is now. Target is my happy place. I don't mind driving to Columbus blvd but this will be so much more convenient. I'm in trouble.
