They are cutting down the gum tree.





Guess what. Ya can't force everything into Rittenhouse Square.


All this will do is give everyone a chance to re-sticker all the street lights and re-gum all the trees.

Can't wait to see all the new graffiti that will be done on the new signs and poles.




Thanks for the clean canvas!

OK, I get the joke hospitalitygirl...obviously you just made a new screen name to screw with me...because no one in their right mind would say something so stupid. What's next, maybe we should have residential permit parking on south street-you know, for the tourists.

Are you kidding me? Why would I ever say something so silly, in any name?

I only use Hospitalitygirl, for good or for bad. People seem to have fun trying to beat on me...

It ain't me.

DBSCU is the future of the South Street area. He is a young professional and very politically active. He has a great vision for the area that is being discussed.


Like DBSCU and many others, I currently live in Queen’s Village and I used to live on the 100 block of South Street for three (3) years (circa 2002-2005). The Street is full of character and life...and so are the people who visit.

It also happens to be plagued by potholes, cracks in cement which is borderline unsafe for pedestrians. In addition, let us not forget, some of the Street’s inhabitants are of questionable character (when was the last time a certain panhandler outside of WaWa told you about his million dollar settlement but needed a couple of bucks until he gets a check?)



Lighting, new sidewalk, a fresh paved street is just what the doctor ordered.

The “South Street purists” have to embrace change as no area stays the same forever. Does anyone remember what Old City looked like 25 years ago? Change was good there, it could be good on South Street too.

Vintage South Street is essentially misplaced as it is now book ended by Million Dollar properties. I don’t see owners at Independence Court going to Jim’s for a Cheesesteak and over to City Blue to pick up some clothes. The new South Street has to respect its roots as it changes. With the real estate pricing as it is, I find this to be a difficult task, but obtainable with City assistance.

There has to be a happy middle ground between the two views. This can only be accomplished by views of people from the extreme right and extreme left. Nobody should be lambasted for having an opinion, as nothing productive comes from such behavior.

I for one embrace the improvements, if they ever happen, and am anxious to see the continued evolution of South Street.

FYI: I know what a DBSCU is!
