Tin Roof music club project is dead
The $2 million project at 1525 Sansom St.- in a renovated building whose Chestnut Street front is now occuped by Liberty Travel - has been derailed by what owner Bob Franklin called zoning issues.
Tin Roof - the Nashville-based chain of bars with live music - will not open in Philadelphia, after all.
The $2 million project at 1525 Sansom St.- in a renovated building whose Chestnut Street front is now occuped by Liberty Travel - has been derailed by what owner Bob Franklin called zoning issues that were taking "too long for all parties." He described the decision to back off an "amicable agreement by all parties to go another direction."
The project was green-lit in fall 2013.
I've heard that neighbors opposed it on the grounds that narrow Sansom Street - already home to Ladder 15 and Oscar's - would be clogged with traffic.
