I thought about artsy shops like that, but I just don't think they'd survive without tourists comming to Mayfair. The people in Mayfair sure as heck can't afford that kinda stuff, at least not on a level that will keep the shops open that's for sure, but once we have the lure ( fun bars ) then yeah, people of all kinds of incomes will stop by and THEN you put your art shops in.
I agree that Frankford ave is a major artery and that you can't shut it down, however Duval street in Key West isn't shut down to traffic either. Main street in Manyunk isn't either, so I don't really think that would matter.
