You guys had to see that triangle not too long ago, before it was fixed up by Fumo. Talk about a hangout for punk kids....heh. (large awning with bench seats) Years back it was a gas station.

It was a gas station, a vacant gas station, a steak place called "Mugsy's" which sat derelict for several years before it finally opened. Then it was Ishkabibbles, Inky's, then Cippollone's Home Plate. This last one was the best operation on that site. Then they got tired of running that business, and the property sat vacant again. Then it was torn down to make way for the fountain, which had some permitting issues, which finally got worked out to give us the little piazza that we have today.
Now let's put some trees in it.

Well, then I guess there are a lot of like-minded people down here in South Philly who feel that way which would explain the many trash-riddled and devoid-of-shade streets 'round these parts.

Trash is a problem however TRASH or LACK OF TREES is not THE
problem. I was passing through Reed Street on my way over to that excellent park over at 6th and Wharton Streets. Gee, that's a bright oasis in South Philadelphia! I passed by 925 Reed Street. "What is this." I wondered as I sauntered over to inspect the L&I (Licenses and Inspections) placard. Hmmmmm, dated from March 03 and a second one from April '05. But no work. There's a huge deep hole and the facade is boarded over so no one slips in and kills themselves. THE CAUSE? Undertaxing UNIMPROVED or BLIGHTED property. This is one. If you do a walk through, let me know if you agree this is Philadelphia's downfall. The owner does not have to look at it. He lives in Maryland. Joel Property Info.

Word. Cipps had the best choc chip water ice. I didnt care for the food, but the owner was cool as hell...and had a Dodge Viper. ;-)
Trees would def make that deal much much nicer. THe fountain is neat, but it does look bleak. Quote:
