I’ve probably been the most frustrated about Walnut retail on here but even I can see some good signs as of late.
I think the real game changer will be the opening of The Laurel as the gateway for Walnut west of the Square. That stretch of Walnut is probably better suited for high end retail.

My initial post wasn't mean to be down, I just thought the article sounded middle school-ish in the writing and points.
As you know, I am all for Walnut (and Chestnut revival), and they both are improving. My biggest critiques are the huge literal hole on Walnut Street and the issue of crime in Center City potentially deterring retail growth (kind of a different convo though).
And the completion of the Laurel and Equinox gym will be certainly extend the Walnut energy West.
