Letting a building go unused and virtually neglected for over two years then claiming they had no choice but to tear it down is kind of bullshit.
They closed the business in 2019 saying they needed to do renovations, did nothing for two years, then in 2021 tore it down. What could’ve been done during those two years to prevent the tear down? Did they intentionally wait until the building was too far gone because tearing it down was always in their plan?

They were probably trying to find the $$$$ to do so. It’s not rocket science.

If only I could think of a reason why construction would stop on a restaurant for 2 years in 2020 and 2021?? 🤔🙄

They bought it in July 2018 then closed it in March of 2019, a full year before Covid hit. They did absolutely nothing to renovate it until tearing it down in 2021.

Sounds like they were lucky to NOT have begun construction in 2019... I don't know why people get so upset; are you being materially damaged by the skyline of Wickendon St. Missing a building? Or just need to gripe about something?
It's not like it's dragging property values down. Housing is outrageously expensive on the East Side. Enjoy the extra parking spots available, then support a small business when it opens.
