Any other ideas?
My suggestion for bars was basicaly to increase tourism and dollars spent in Mayfair. While I agree that there wouldn't be as many jobs available as ther would be in a factory, ther WOULD be an increase in jobs in Mayfair as a result of the increased tourism.
See what I mean?

There are already enough bars. What you need to attract people are artisian shops, art galleries,restaurants (like Rylei), etc.
Also, unlike your examples of Bourbon St. & Key West, Frankford Avenue is a major artery and could never be clossed for pedestriain traffic on a permanent basis.
