in any event, we shall see how the press continues this story. the
zoning board hearing which had been scheduled for 28 feb is now

update:
from tuesday's dp, a long front-page story describing how the muslims
at the walnut st. mosque (the largest mosque in philadelphia) are not
the same as the muslims on campus:
http://tinyurl.com/2kcskz
"For West Phila. Muslims, two communities exist -- one
centered on 43rd Street, and one at Penn"
and yesterday's dp, with its staff editorial about the proposed liquor
store move's impact on the muslim community and the neighborhood:
http://tinyurl.com/37qn45
"Respect the Community. Placing a liquor store across the
street from the mosque will not improve the area"
- - - - - -
update:
now that the dp has framed the proposed liquor store move as muslim vs
business, and has further divided the muslims into penn muslims vs
neighborhood muslims, the story continues. it's not about a mosque vs a
neighborhood, we're told, it's about a community 'overwelmingly in
favor' awaiting a decision from the zoning board:
http://tinyurl.com/26gxvd
RULING ON LIQUOR STORE MOVE EXPECTED SOON
"With no easy solution, a decision regarding the move of the liquor store
could go either way."
[...]
"Representatives from the mosque did not return repeated requests for
comment."
- - - - - -
update:
now that the dp has rendered the muslims silent about the
proposed liquor store move, the ucity review follows suit
with its article on april 4, which contains numerous quotes
by proponents belittling the muslims' objections and ends by
reporting that the muslims' 'legal representation could not
be reached by press time for comment...'

SERIAL LIAR. CALL FOR RATES.
still no word on where the petition supporting the liquor
store originated or was distributed; still no word about any
of this on spruce hill's website, or how how re-zoning for a
liquor store supports spruce hill's policy for zoning; still
no word on any alternatives to the proposed move.
