And at our backs we always hear, Krispy Kreme's bad-ass glaze-dripping apparatus, drawing near

The deadly delicious Krispy Kreme chain will mark its triumphant, best-eaten-warm return to the Philadelphia market on Nov. 9, when it opens a new location at 7855 Oxford Avenue in Fox Chase, about one block from the just-launched Hop Angel Brauhaus. Though the Southern-based brand plans on opening upwards of 20 locations in the region between now and 2017, there are two slated for more immediate debuts, sometime in 2011: as-yet-undetermined shops for both Bensalem and Center City. Which got us thinking: Where along Billy Penn's grid would one place a Krispy Kreme to maximize its seductive, just-baked olfactory luring power? We bet a KK, neon hot-doughnut sign and all, would wreck in a neighborhood with a lot of foot traffic - maybe on or around 13th Street between Chestnut and Locust as a companion to that hopping restaurant row. What do you think? Molly Posted 2010-11-02 01:41:22

KK....add another K and you start to get the history of this sugar coated heart attack.  Trans fats and KK.... Have a banana instead.

I'm thinking the old Gino's/KFC location at Broad and Bainbridge.  I'm also thinking the should offer Krispy Kreme burgers.
