Dead-Ass Proposal of the Week-- November 20th

Corestates Financial Center

800 Market Street

This low-res corner of a picture from an unrelated dead-ass proposal is the only surviving picture of this one.
                    You know what? Fuck Market East! Especially between 7th and 11th Streets. This area seems to be some kind of development vacuum-- even when an experienced developer comes along to blast the hell out of it and bring it back to life, this cursed location finds some kind of way to bring them down. After spending over a century as one of the most premiere shopping streets in America, Market East is now a big sopping pile of dogshit.

  1. I remember the proposal. The Strawbridge & Clothier management was so excited that they were going to expand or relocate Mens department which was then on main & 2nd floor. They were going to remodel lower level (which was also Gallery entry to subway concourse) as Mens department. After the family sold to May Co, the lower level was mostly emptied out.
