Wow! I live at 7th and Catharine, so I am familiar with the Passyunk/Fitzwater intersection. Great neighborhood--small, eclectic shops that could use more housing, although I don't think the housing will be affordable for most folks. Great to see that creative destruction--the demise of Rite-Aid--is fertilizing the neighborhood.
I'm a homeowner on the 400 block of Monroe, and this Rite Aid was at the end of my block. Between the 7 story monstrosity at 5th and Bainbridge and now this... Just more young white people that don't care about the neighborhood. Ugh. I wish there was more creativity when these developers take over real estate. I've lived on this block so long, I remember when that building was a very VERY dicy bar, the kind that these entitled white kids wouldn't step foot in or live near
Sorry I offended your delicate sensibilities, but what scary white people? They're just ignorant, can't seem to figure out what day trash is, and when to put recycling out. Will look me straight in the face as I smile at them and totally ignore me, don't clean up, are rude and have absolutely no idea how to live in a city. It was way better when my block was mostly Black folks. We looked out for each other and said hello. Now this just means more of them, plus ugly architecture. Bad enough we have the 7 story monstrosity going up on Bainbridge. Too much for this neighborhood

It will be interesting to see what takes over the open corner commercial spot here!
CVS?
