The building is a few years delinquent with property tax, making the lease invalid. It also has numerous code violations. The worse part, if it does open, it will be another "Stogie Joes" fiasco.

It looks like some of the roadblocks have been solved but a couple still exist. They may be minor. Today 1/21 the orange application to sell beer etc showed up on the front door but there still exists a stop work order from about a week ago. This property is @ 1941 E Passyunk Ave across the street from Colombo's. On the surface I don't see any problem with it but I have talked to one person who thinks being a half block from a rehab center may not be too wise. I don't think my friend would object though.
On the major plus side those of you that would like to be able to buy good beer in the neighborhood should get their wishes granted. I wish them good luck.

OTOH, it makes a ton of sense because it's just off the subway stop where people can stop on the way home...perhaps the same reason the rehab center is there.

Good point, I was sort of thinking that it would have been better near all the BYOB restaurants near Tasker.

A new boutique opening at 1731 E. Passyunk, how has this been over looked?! A lot of work has been done on the building, and I am very excited about "Nice Things - Handmade", grand opening is this Second Saturday Feb 13th.
They already had a write up in The City Paper!

Someone did mention it but it only has a hand written note on the brown paper covering the window. If you know the folks have them post something.
It's on the same side of the block as Philadelphia Scooters.

"Nice Things" is not helping their cause with little or no information. It's too easy to walk by without even looking.

Michele Aquino, who’s opening The Bottle Shop craft beer spot with partner Gena Montebello at 1941 E. Passyunk, is shooting for a first-week-of-April opening.

Though I'm a little skeptical since I passed by a couple days ago and there was still an L&I work-stop order in the window.
I'm following the bottle shop on twitter, and it seems like they are still on schedule. It would be the closest place to my house to get beer, and on the way home I could stop at isabella pizza to pick up wings.
