20th and Locust. 16th and Walnut. Now 20th and Chestnut.

One by one, they’ve all closed, and taken their fee-free ATM’s with them. Having moved to Philly from another state - a state where you drive, not walk, to get your groceries, I can say that losing these stores is a pretty big hit. One thing I’ve always felt is that Center City could use more of is grocery-type stores. Sure there’s a Trader Joe’s and a few smaller shops & delis scattered around, but walking across town for a gallon of milk and bread pretty much sucks.

Hopefully someone steps in to fill in some of the holes left behind.
