Say what? I am the first to publish that the boundaries, as defined by the Philadelphia City Planning Commission, have changed. Can you cite an earlier publication?
The stickers are indeed placed in their appropriate Planning Analysis Sector. I did not know there were new PCPC definitions for our community; I was accustomed to the previous rules, according to which the stickers were inaccurate. In the most precise possible words, the stickers are in West Philadelphia if many folks feel they are; at the same time, and of equal truth, they are in University City if many folks feel they are. But a designation like "West Philly" is much bigger than a neighborhood designation and cannot contrast with or replace a neighborhood designation. To put another way: it makes no sense to say, "THIS IS WEST PHILLY Haddington / Dunlap / Mill Creek / Mantua is a marketing scheme." They aren't marketing schemes. They are well-known and long-established neighborhoods that are part of West Philadelphia, which is far too big to be a neighborhood in itself. It's not a neighborhood name and hasn't been for 100 years. -- Tony West ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank To: Anthony West ; [email protected] Sent: Friday, April 06, 2007 5:38 AM Subject: Re: [UC] Be true to your Planning Analysis Sector (Was: New Marketing Campaign) In other, more concise words, you were wrong and the stickers are indeed in West Philadelphia. There. That was easy, wasn't it? One simple sentence. By the way, "all the fuss" was mostly *you* refusing to admit that the boundaries, in their fluidity, had changed. Frank
