  While PPA officers are simply state-protected thieves for the most part (aren't we taxed enough and aren't small businesses hurting enough?), throwing hot coffee on them only worsens the problem. If you hate the PPA, create a movement against them.

  And Simon, do you support police brutality, corruption, ignorant laws as "I'm just doing my job!"

  There are a lot of problems that need to be tackled rather than just Wendy's then. What causes these gangs of kids? Is it their parenting? Is it the teachers? We can swat at the branches all day, but it's time to strike the root.

  Also, insulting people is a great way to have a conversation.

  It's things like this that distract us from the REAL problems of the world, hoo.

  (Starvation, homelessness, war . . . )

  Renting, I'm only 23, but I don't think that I'll ever want to own a home. Too many risks. Like a Wendy's becoming my neighbor.

  I have noticed quite the animosity against renters, college students and people who temporarily live in the area vs. long time home owners. Oh, and don't even mention the people that come in just to go to the bars. Shame!

  Sadly it seems as if Philadelphia's historical buildings as a whole are being torn down or gutted and made into fancy smancy apartments, eateries, hotels, etc. I support development for the better, for instance, if a building is so old and dilapidated that it is going to fall down. if the Bunting House was salvageable and repairable at an efficient cost, it probably should have been fixed that way. But I'm sure some quick equation was figured out and tearing the whole thing down and building a profitable, addicting and well-liked fast food restaurant turned out to be more profitable. So they're going to cheaply build a restaurant vs. using the brick and mortar structure that once was. Controversial to say the least!

  People say similar statements regarding people with differing political views from them, "If you don't like it, you can leave!"

  I do think that everything comes down to individual choice. But collectively, advocating against something that may hurt the community is awesome.

  I'm just curious. I've seen additions and development all my life and usually life goes on. I'm more upset with the construction trucks and annoyance that will be there for quite sometime while they build. I checked out the lot today when I drove by and it is HUGE. Hopefully they'll space the Wendy's from the houses a good amount. I never run into insane traffic there and I am up and down Ridge 4-5 times a day for my job. I also drove past a classy Wendy's near Norristown and I hope this one models off of this one! Very clean and has a huge slogan about healthy food, eating right, etc.!

  I agree another fast food place isn't necessary at all. It's never! I would have loved a farmer's market or Produce Junction type deal here. But in the world we live in, property can be bought and used like this . . . permits approved to build without consulting local residents? I guess! But I'm guessing if Wendy's was added near busy Ridge and Domino by Superfresh, it wouldn't be a big deal.

  Great points! It would make the most sense in my mind if the locals were polled to determine if the Wendy's "should be" allowed. Because of the direct effects on your property, life, etc.
