One of the most well-known places for a cheesesteak in Philadelphia is still out of commission after a fire tore through the South Street shop five months ago.

It's the first update in the months since the 4th and South street shop caught fire on July 29. It took firefighters several hours that morning to get the blaze under control. The fire marshal’s office determined it was caused by an issue with the electrical wiring.
Jim’s didn’t give a timeline of when the shop might reopen, but says it will be an "epic Philly comeback."
