I thought that the Boba King would never open. I haven't seen many people patronizing it, so I don't know how long it will last, then again I thought almost the same about Van Leeuwen, which hasn't closed yet.

I miss Grocery sometimes. It's funny how my first two years in Philadelphia, 2018 and 2019, sometimes almost feel like a lost youth.

Van Leeuwen's seems super busy all the time in the summer so I'm not worried about that, I believe they are doing well and continuing to expand in the city.

Regarding Boba King, I hope it stays awhile as it's a nice looking space. It might be harder to judge how they are doing walking by as many people probably just order/pickup and go.

I guess that I never pass Van Leeuwen at prime trading hours or naybe I'm just still bitter about the loss of Capogiro Gelato.

If anything can prosper in those spaces, I'm glad of them.
