July 29, 20223 yr eh, the city is a Dallas anyway. Can't imagine myself ever going to south street again. EDIT - HAHA that is great how the page changes "Sh!t hole" to "Dallas"
July 29, 20223 yr While sad, it's also kind of amazing those places don't have grease fires once a week.

July 30, 20223 yr Yeah, sad news. Land mark of the City is gone. I grew up living across the street with the Owner. I remember riding bikes there to get sandwiches. Sad for their Family. I hope they can rebuild.

July 31, 20223 yr Jim’s Steaks owner vows to rebuild after destructive two-alarm fire https://whyy.org/articles/fire-jims-steaks-south-street/ Philadelphia City Councilman Mark Squilla came to the fire scene, leaving another meeting when he found out about it. He spoke to the owner and said he’s ready to rebuild, but the question at this point is whether he will have to start from scratch or if the current building can be rehabbed. Squilla admits the restaurant is a big loss to the area, and even though no one was injured because of the fire directly, the business district will suffer. "The injury goes a long way to not only South Street, but the entire city. You know, I talked to Kenny, the owner. He said he’s going to rebuild and come back, depending on how much damage is to that building and whether that needs to come down or can it be rehabbed? We don’t know yet.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://billypenn.com/2022/07/30/jims-steaks-ken-silver-rebuild-eyes-gallery-julia-zagar/ Jim’s Steaks owner says fire damage isn’t as bad as originally thought, targets spring 2023 reopening on South Street Twenty-three hours after firefighters declared under control a two-alarm blaze that consumed the business his father had opened nearly 50 years ago, Jim’s Steaks owner Ken Silver got some better-than-expected news. The cheesesteak shop’s building at Fourth and South streets was declared stable. He and a crew could enter and immediately start to rebuild. "It’s actually better than I thought it was going to be,” Silver told Billy Penn Saturday afternoon, after having expressed gratitude that no one was injured during the emergency. He watched as workers carted out bags of trash and nailed plywood to the windows. "Turns out the building is really strong.” The fire, thought to have started in the HVAC system, burned through the tall rowhome structure for four hours on Friday morning, with over 125 firefighters working to eventually bring it under control around 1:30 p.m. First responders worked through the night to make sure the fire was out.

Only a person without basic steak sandwich knowledge would lump Jim's together with Pat's and Genos. You're an embarrassment to the EMB
