I think you mean the old waiting area that was turned into a mall. the mall part is a great wow factor that can generally divert your attention away from the pathetic waiting area and challenged track layout

True, though the use of the space and building is an improvement, wonder though how long the mall will work (Onlyso much need for another VS or Swatch store), the food court and eating options are a plus and I imagine will only get busier as the office space is developed above the air rights. If the area around 30th Street ever continues to fill in would love to see more use of the 3oth street station structue...

on the track layout, it always seems you wlak forever there. to me personally it always reminded me of the cleaner version of Reading Terminal. I remember before the tunnel arriving at Reading terminal and walking down the platforms. Boy that shed was dirty in the late 70s and early 80s
