“PlanPhilly noticed some construction activity in front of the old Jumbo Theater in Fishtown. The last we heard, developer Avram Hornik pulled out from a project that would have refurbished the historically significant, century-old theater by creating a music venue and restaurant in the space. We tracked down the construction company – A.J. Lewis – who told us a Dollar Tree Store was planned for the site. Our old friend Michael Greenle sent us some updated photos of the deconstruction. Interesting brickwork, Philly’s version of the Alamo, no? By comparing the recent photos with the 1916 shot of the structure you can see the shadow of the old theatre on the new photos where facade was added.” —-Matt Golas
