Default Context?

It seems you enjoy taking things out of context?

It is impossible for South Street to become just like GTown. Quite simple, not enough space.

That being said, what I mean is the style and class GTown has. The crime is a result to GTowns massive population in and around the area, and moreover D.C. has always had trouble combatting crime.

We as Philadelphians dont want to bring on storms of traffic into the corridor, just want it to be a more desirable location for tourists which brings revenue and helps our businesses survive and flourish.

To attract such businesses and tourists we need to make the move to a classier audicence, ie-GTOWN.

No one here was speaking about crime, population, etc... These are other elements which are not a part of this conversation.

1-Clean the Streets up
2-Add Trees
3-Add nice attractive lighting and curb appeal
4-Results in a few more nice restaurants
5-A few more nice shops

This all adds to the neighboorhod and would be great for our out of towners coming to visit instead of the rift rafty low segments we have now. I believe the 2nd to 3rd Block is great and a great start. So is the Starbucks, and I believe the Wholefoods area is getting built up nicely.

No, this wont be a G-Town, and I think you knew what i meant when i used GTown and Manyunk as an example.
