No, LIGHT RAIL on the Boulevard AND bike lanes.

and from Cottman to the airport it's nothing but an endless sea of outdoor cafes lining both sides, with pedestrian bridges and no parking.

There are no Starbucks'es here. I wouldn't have even known that except that I happen to have a gift certificate to spend. I do think we could use a Whole Foods though, so call me a yuppie.

With this new gentrification wave sweeping the area most of the bars in the neighborhood Caspers, Rauchuts,Coaches and Tony's are all ditching the "Milwaukee's Best" and Lions Head on tap, in favor of Yards and Victory. Speaking of Tony's I heard their pizza is supposed to go brick oven.

No I like Whole Foods also and Im no "yuppie"....I first encountered one near the Art Museum while I was working at Tivoli Condos at 19th & Hamilton. We went to the one near Jenkintown for some good cuts of meat a few weeks ago.

...thats a very nice Whole Foods. I especially enjoy the prepared foods at that particular location.

Between Genaurdis, Whole Foods, Trader Joes the food shopping options within 15 minutes of my home are excellent. Next week, Im going to make the 25 minute pilgrimage to Warrington to check out the mecca of all supermarkets---Wegmans.
