So, you remember the previously posted here story about a pack of frothing idiots who think putting a couple 400 ft. towers at Broad and Washington will revitalize South Philadelphia.
Well, the same developer who wants to build those big steel phalli also annexed an entire sidewalk along South Street next to his nearly completed enormous eyesore monument to gentrification. To build a diabled access ramp for the 1st floor shops. That actually more closely resembles a terrace. That people in wheelchairs can't access, because, well, the sidewalk is too narrow for wheelchairs. Because of the access ramp this idiot built. Without zoning approval. Do yourself a favor: don't read those sentences again, or think about them too much - it can cause brain damage.
Of course, brain damage would qualify you for a seat on Philadelphia's city council, right down the row from Frank DiCicco, spokesman for hubristic developers everywhere.
In short,
DiCicco = dickbag.
Samir Benakmoume = Napoleon w/ a smaller penis and more VD.
Streets Department = chickenshit.
Wheelchair bound people = fucked.
South Street and 13th = deathtrap.
Rich, white tenants of the good ship = happy w/ a terrace (ramp) that they'll probably never use, cause then they'd have to sit within view of people who have a different skin tone than them.

Benakmoume's suggestion to remove the street lamps to make room for the wheelchairs blows my mind. Great idea you arrogant motherfucker: remove **tax-funded** lighting structures that make residents feel safe, just to make room for your bitch ass terrace-ramps that aren't authorized anyway. I have a mind to seek out and slap that bitch.
That ramp is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen -- what, is it for handicapped people with one-wheeled wheelchairs? Razor scooters? Someone should notify the local quad rugby team to go Murderball on DiCicco's smarmy azz.
