Today, the Daily News declares the Roosevelt Mall hip.
COULD THE AREA around the Roosevelt Mall, at the heart of Northeast Philadelphia, be the next comeback kid of revitalization? The tea leaves look auspicious. After months of rumors, it’s now official: a new Target department store is going up at Bustleton and Bleigh, where the old Orleans movie theater is coming down.
The Northeast Target will be about the same size as the new one on City Avenue, with a food court and, yes, a Starbucks. [...] “That’s my favorite store, Tar-zhay,” Caruso laughs. “Their paper towels are great. We’ll all be there at lunchtime.”
“Everybody’s talking about the Target,” says State Rep. John Perzel. “They can’t wait for it to open.”
The grand opening of the new Northeast Target is slated for next fall. Meanwhile, the Daily News has been hanging out on and around Cottman Avenue in the vicinity of the Roosevelt Mall, taking the pulse of the Northeast’s heartland business corridor during the calm before its renewal.
My God.
