Surprised there's no mention of the laundromat at 7th and Girard. High end establishment.

the commentary is amusing:

"This is AWESOME, great news for this area. Let's hope that more trees are planted along with additional coffee shops (Starbucks) to bring in new blood and businessess here. From 30th street to about 26th street on the west side of Girard great improvement is already taking place. Need to get Broad St. area up and going, maybe some condos....Why not??? Not far from Temple for housing for the students there."

...i truly can't tell if this person's serious or not.

Very funny but it's a pretty awesome place when it's open. It's like stepping into a Brooklyn club. I was there once for a record release party and wished I knew when else it was open because it always looks out of business.
