Sorry I don't have the answer to your question about Joe's; I myself
noticed that it looked like Joe's had completely shut down as I biked by
recently. The owners were really nice and I patronized them when I
lived closer ...
I think it an interesting contrast, the mention of Rita's water ice
opening on B Ave. I remember visiting the water ice/coffee shop that
was on the 4600 block in the summer of '04; it suddenly shut down, no
one seemed to notice ... now a chain might be moving in.
Do you have any more info on this potential move-in of Rita's?
It is timely; there was an article in the Sunday paper about how an
out-of-towner is doing so well marketing Philly water ice along the East
Coast:
Rita's CEO has lofty dreams for water ice
Rudolph wants 1,500 stores, each earning $500,000 a season.

For what it's worth, I find it amazing that anyone would pay so much for
flavored ice . . .

John Ellingsworth

All,
Perhaps this is old news, but I'm not always so observant:
Does anyone know whether Joe's, the grocery store on the 4500 block of
Baltimore, is closed, at least temporarily? We don't patronize often but
when we do need one or two ingredients, it was the closest, half-way
reliable source. Things looked a bit disassembled in there on Sunday
evening...
Also, there was talk of a Rita's Water Ice going into one of the stores
on the 4600 block. Does anyone know the latest on that?
Thanks,
Mark Bowerman
