Gotta love Philly shitting on a good idea because of nostalgia and a hatred of yuppies with pets.

I am sorry they closed down the North Star. It sounds like a place i would have loved.

That said, a place i can have a drink and being my pup is a place I'll go. Especially in walking distance. In other cities these aren't "novelties" they have been around for years and have proven successful. Maybe it's not the perfect neighborhood for the concept but given the number of mutts i see out at Lemon Hill, the park on Pennsylvania, and Jefferson St. fields, I think there is a clientele.

I hope it works.
