Kick out Hard Rock forthwith and with gusto. bring in garces or starr, I think a supersized Stella type place would do quite qell as woudl a chickie and pete's type place. the Field house seems to pack em in on filbert street, someone could do a lot more than Hard Rock on Market. the people are there, coming in by train, walking around during the day...kick em out, they can find other space. when Goldman was trying to turn around 13th st he brought in starr, not houlihan's.
I met some out-of-town friends at Hard Rock a few years ago and the chicken mac and cheese I had was excellent.

I'm not anti-corporate. I just think that building would serve the people of Philadelphia better as something else.
