philly, by design

lil help? see below...

writing a thesis on community-based design in philly... wheee!

after a great deal of research, i'm going with a mixed-use community center centered in fishtown for my topic... mixed-use means there would be a community center with other functions included in the same space (retail, commercial, residential, etc)... at this point, i'm beginning the program and site selection phases of the process, which includes developing the type, scope, and location for my final design.

here's where you come in...

what type of space would you like to see in good ol' fishtown? grocery store, coffee shop, restaurant, bar, book store, movie theater, clothing store? (these are just suggestions, please feel free to give me other options.) also, any other ideas you may have in terms of location or even design specifics are very much welcome.

you can email me via the link on your right, or use the phillyblog link below to comment ... thank you thank you thank you. ;)
