What's being constructed in the south area of Liberty State Park near the admin building near the 13 flag memorial?

Anyone have any info on where the white star folks are opening their next location?
They've teased a few photos on instagram, but they look like they could just be concept renderings: https://instagram.com/p/2qiYVkoaJZ https://instagram.com/p/2qx7uFIaFI

I didn't think those chain restaurants were in the Millennial demographic. All the new businesses and new apt construction is geared toward this group.

I am anticipating the day, with dread, when one of those big chains like Red Lobster or Olive Garden lease one of those big spaces. Why can't some brain power be spent on figuring out how to make some of these into "passages" http://www.theguardian.com/travel/201 ... n-passages-shopping-shops or something similar

I walked past Sleep Cheap Furniture (155 Newark Ave) and it was completely empty. If they are gone, I wonder what will replace them? That space is pretty large.

Yeah, even if it was a chain, it's part of that large building, so would not fall under that. I'm just baffled why that media company thinks it's a good idea to take 3 store fronts that likely have very high rents.

You mean, instead of four failed stores. Also note that Fulop's vaunted plan to extremely limit chains downtown would not prevent the media company from opening.

I thought it was common knowledge that a branch of the Paris-based unisex clothier, Buy Curieuse, was opening in JC Made.

Wonderful. So a media company needs to take up 3 store fronts in prime downtown Grove Street? Can someone write a letter to the editor on how lame that is that they are f'ing up our downtown?
So instead of a restaurant, flower shop, popular deli, and a failed store -- we get a bank and an office.

The space on Grove Str that formerly housed "JC Made" is for rent. I had no idea they closed!
Also, the locksmith "Catalano" also moved across the street to the former Aspasia's space. So two empty spaces on Grove - anyone has any tips on what's coming???

Walked past it the other day. Appears to be street-level offices for NJ.com. That could be interesting. If I'm not mistaken, they own the Jersey Journal, which in turn put the "Journal" in "Journal Square."

Quite a regular

Shell gas station on 12th Street between Erie and Manila: they're doing some sort of repairs to their gas tanks, something to do with it being state mandated repairs. Don't know the entire story but that's what's happening.
I'm also curious what's happening on the lot at 13th & Jersey, has anyone heard anything? They're pile driving and moving along quickly but I can't find info on what it's going to be?

The A-1 Deli space on Grove! What's going in there? New desks and phones right near the windows.

Re: Shell station Erie and 12th:
Given the location it's probably an upgraded gas station like the Gulf across Erie St.

Unfortunately, fairly close to being finished has little bearing on how close they are to OPENING. Ask any number of restaurants that have opened in recent times (say, the last five years).

I am so hoping they name the place Eerie Burger. The little beauty salon would make a nice small dining room if it became available.

Someone working on first and Erie told me it was going to be a burger place. He said it was fairly close to being finished. This was maybe two weeks ago.

2 questions.
1. I am not surprised the city makes it hard for businesses to open but how does this benefit the city to have less businesses open? wouldnt they receive more in taxes from a surviving business than a few inspections or permits? 2. Also, I would assume its legal to have a phone or camera out in the open during an inspection to use as evidence if requirements change over time. An exposed camera as opposed to a hidden one may straighten up a few inspectors who are on the fence of being corrupt. Is this not doable?

Anyone have info on what's under construction at the NE corner 1st and Erie?
I've heard rumors of a burger place but was curious if anyone had any more details or an ETA.

I took the beater car to the remaining Mr. Bubbles on Grand yesterday, and spoke with the owner. He told me he shut down the Communipaw location because the business had been severely impacted by the extra traffic caused by the Pulaski construction. As there will be several more years of construction affecting his business he decided to close it down.

I got the same letter, and I wondered why 4 stories with only 3 units? Is the ground floor a garage?

Will the building going up at 4th and Erie have stores on the ground floor?

Not too shy to talk

Nope only 3 units. There are two existing buildings on that corner and my guess is that the new project is a small infill type project. 267 York has vacant lots on either side of the building and both buildings share a single large common parking area in the rear. I'm assuming that either the parking lot or one of the vacant lots will be the location of the new building.

Only 3 units on that entire lot? Or was that a typo that meant 30?
