Apparently, my 'hood is about to become the fancy, bona fide doorway to center city that everyone wants it to be.
Wait, did I say everyone? I meant, ALMOST NO ONE.
Notice that this collossal monument of hubris is brought to you by none other than Frank DiCicco, local councilman. This is precisely my problem w/ DiCicco. He's blatantly pro-business, pro-development, pro-whatever will line his district and pockets with more $. And he is so at the expense of the opinions of the people he represents.
While there's nothing at all wrong with being pro-casino, or pro-development, or pro-this-new-project, having that stance when it directly conflicts with the overwhelming majority of the people you represent is NOT ok. It's not democracy. Yes, he later changed course on the casino deal, but never forget that he was one of the biggest proponents of the deal at first. I can imagine him changing his stance on this come next election cycle, but meanwhile everything he's done since the election demonstrates his total disdain for his constituency. He's a piece of shit.
And, speaking of pieces of shit...
Fear not, young Fado dwellers! Roofie coolattas are back on the menu.
Here endeth the rant.

Well, they originally wanted 53 stories, and they've scaled it down to 31, so at least it's not as bad as it could have been. Still, the concept is awful. Let me present the one sketch the developer has offered, heretofore known as the Double Penetration Piazza.
Schwinnnng!
Dear God, that's horrible.
It's like they took a look at the Comcast Phallus, and said, "We can do better! Hey, it's one more, innit?"
