Even Strawberry Mansion is being encroached upon by Brewerytown and eventually by Fairmount Park and East Falls. The Beury represents an opportunity to revitalize North Philly as opposed to somewhere that's an extension of somewhere else, and do it because it's a great location on its own being a major transportation nexus. Even if Temple buys that building and converts it to something for its health campus, it would still be North Philly being revitalized and wouldn't signal anything else.<br /><br />So I completely agree with you. To not restore that building to its former glory is spitting in the face of the people who live there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
