As an Atlantic City-style strip of pawn shops and fast food joints? It took 25 years for AC to get together and organize their outlet village; is Philly together enough to do city planning in that way? My guess is they just expect capitalism to take over, in which case we're probably going to end up with a second jeweler's row along the waterfront. How would South Street be reborn?

Sure, the big boys like Tower, KCF, MickyD's stand out - but look deeper ... there are so many gaps of empty storefronts that the strip is beginning to look like the smile of a Kensington crackwhore... having lived off South street since 1981, I'm well aware that it ain't what it used to be ... and perhaps the strip has to truly die in order to be reborn, but if political timing plays out - my guess it will be reborn when one/both of these casino projects opens their doors... not sure if thats a good or bad thing. of course, while everyone’s attention is on the River Invasion, has anyone else noticed just how many businesses are closed on South Street?
