...closing is still not scheduled...could be tomorrow or thursday. what is missing? the appraisal! it has been promised for the last 2 days which is annoying because the rest of the team kicked a** getting their stuff in and i have no control over the appraiser because i didn't hire him...ugh. i can keep complaining or share with you the other reasons why i'm trying to buy 412.
i have lived in fishtown since i was in my 20s (a long time ago)...right down the street on wildey at 218, before johnny brenda's was bought by the standard tap. then i bought 619. and now i hope 412 becomes mine. my friends joke that i want to be 'queen of wildey.'
the riverside appeals to me...it's not as busy and congested as the heart of fishtown. smack in the middle of delaware ave & girard ave providing easy access to the river & highway. a short stroll to the never-ending gastropubs & eateries popping up, such as kraftwork, lloyd whiskey bar, milk crate cafe, to name a few.
another positive feature of the location of 412 is the cross street of columbia ave being rejuvenated as the columbia ave connector . i think this is huge for fishtown...all of the i95 underpasses are neglected and dark and scary. i just hope it won't end at columbia ave.
