The Terminal sucks. It is our very own SoDoSoPa, bland boomer bait designed to lure pearl-clutching suburbanites into the city three times a year.

McCaffery lied about their plan and pulled the rug out from under from a purposefully ignorant Peduto administration and we ended up with a pair of big red lips outside of a Chipotle instead of a lively and sustainable community market.

But sure, Mayweather Wife Beater Boxing is a “local” business lmao whatever fuck them all

SoDoSoPa reference is killing me because this exactly what I said when construction began in the town home “community” located behind it. You are completely correct it is massively underwhelming.

Nailed it.

Been to many cities with awesome meatpacking/warehouse/etc parts of town with great industrial vibes and cool shops.

Was REALLY hoping for that here as the housing density has grown by leaps and bounds.

I’ll be curious if the suburbanites keep it afloat, or if all these chains will sink. I’ll punt my optimism that maybe we can get more local and interesting shops/restaurants 5 years out.

These are right in line with the interests of the folks living in the bland apartments down there.

Nothing like a chipotle to lure the suburbanites from their local…. Chipotles. Developers are scum.
