Doubts dog Brewerytown supermarket plans

In Brewerytown, residents tend to treat plans for a new supermarket at 31st Street and Girard Avenue like Bigfoot sightings: Those who don't believe the supermarket will ever be built remain skeptical; those who do are staunch supporters of its reality.

Some even worried the plan had completely fallen through last week, when the Girard Supermarket Coalition canceled an April 8 meeting intended to let the developer brief residents on the design.

Has Al Alston shown up yet opposing it because its a white developer?

Couldn't resist.

Actually, the operators for this proposal are black.

Take that!

And plus, it will probably piss off a lot of the Westrum condo owners, so I am sure he will take joy in that.

"In renderings shared with the Home News, the design of the supermarket will emulate the look of a farm or barn with an attached silo."

How contextual...

That does sound a tad cheesy.

This stinks to high heaven. A couple from Jersey who have never run a supermarket are "developers", in cahoots with Frank Oliver, waiting for that seemingly neverending supply of Philadelphia "funding". Forget these clowns.
