I guess we should shut down PATCO then and tell all those Philadelphia sports team fans in South Jersey they have nothing to do with Philly and they should look elsewhere.

Not counting some of South Jersey as part of the Philadelphia metro area is rather short sighted.


As you pointed out it is Phillyblog, not PAblog.

If the people of Philadelphia can't agree on what constitutes the boundaries of different sections of the city, such as North Philly, the Northeast etc., then I am most certainly entitled to define my own boundaries of the "burbs" as I see fit.

That's fine.

But you chastised others. For something that you claim is very dynamic, maybe you might not want to be so critical of others on the same topic.

back to the original topic,

This is going to create serious competition for KOP.
Cherry Hill Mall will now offer many of the same things that KOP Mall does but even though it's NJ, Cherry Hill is way more accessible and easier to get to from the city.

Chastised? Critical? All I did was ask one simple question,

"Excuse me, but with all due respect, isn't this a Philly Blog?"



to which I got the answer, and proceeded to to admit my error.

"I guess you are right,"

I don't think I necessarily agree, since KOP and teh Cherry Hill Mall are so far apart, and both have their regular shoppers. I think the improvements to Cherry Hill will bring in more shoppers from their area, without taking any significant amount from KOP.

Yeah, it seems PREIT is using South Jersey and Center City to go right after the Valley Forge market.

A shame a lot of that stuff couldn't be in the City though.

Wasn't that tried with the Gallery?

Also, NJ Transit has a train that goes from 30th street station to the Garden State Plaza (formely Garden State Park).

How many people would take the train to go shopping at the Cherry Hill Mall, assuming there is some sort of shuttle running from the train station to the Mall.
