Dead: “King of Jeans” Rental Apartments on East Passyunk

The Passyunk Post reports that developer Max Glass’ plan to transform the iconic King of Jeans store into rental apartments with bike share has, for some reason, tanked.

The apartments were meant to appeal to single people without cars, boosting the neighborhood’s younger demographic.
