Philadelphia temple area

Just curious of what other people's opinions are about temple University's north side of the campus? Do you think it will eventually build itself up? It's still sorta run down but does have certain attributes that makes me curious if it is up and coming. Thoughts??

@Angie Williams I would agree with @Joseph Scorese here. I went to Temple and saw this and are still seeing this trend of Temple moving south. They recently moved their track and field facility south, to Broad and Thompson (or Master, haven't been over there in awhile) which is the most south Temple exists until its CC campus buildings. Temple's ex-president (Temple just went though a money scandal) was quoted with “Hopefully, I retire in 12 years. I wouldn’t doubt when I’m ready to retire [Temple] will be part of Center City as it slowly moves its way up Broad Street.” This shows Temple wants to move south. Now with Theobald gone, who knows what will happen. But like mentioned above, it just makes more sense for Temple to connect its CC building to main rather than the health science campus. 

But, its Temple, who knows what they will do.
