The artist is (or at least was) a West Philly resident.  I wonder if
he's on this list?

"Do either the trolley portals or the Drexel Dragon statue fall into the
"buildings and improvements" category?"

As far as the Dragon goes . . . that's a question a lot of people would
ask!

What's odd is that the only city-owned building listed on Hallwatch is
on the northeast side, not the southeast. The bill specifically
references "...land with buildings and improvements thereon." Do either
the trolley portals or the Drexel Dragon statue fall into the "buildings
and improvements" category?

Definitely (I work right across the street - southwest corner).  It's
the corner with the Drexel Dragon statue, and the two portals to the
trolley lines.

Isn't the Southeast corner of 33rd and Market where the Green Line
Trolley stops is?

Maybe they are selling it to SEPTA?

Just thinkin'

Subject: [UC] New Real Estate Bill

According to the legal notices in today's Inky, we have another bill
before City Council involving a real-estate sale in the vicinity of 33rd
& Market. Bill 070506 will have its hearing on Wednesday, June 6th,
11:30 AM, before the Committee on Public Property and Public Works. It
reads as follows:

Authorizing the Commissioner of Public Property to execute and deliver
to the Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development, for nominal
consideration, a deed conveying fee simple title to an approximately
30,000 square foot triangular shaped parcel of City-owned land with
buildings and improvements thereon, located at the southeast corner of
Market and 33rd Streets in the City of Philadelphia, for further
conveyance.

This bill was introduced yesterday. The City Council website shows that
it has no sponsors, and was not introduced by any specific member of
Council.

A check at Hallwatch shows that the only city-owned property on the 3200
block of Market is 3230-38 Market St. It's described as "Pub. Util. 1
Sty Masonry", 11,000 square feet, and had a market value of $396,000 as
of March 1st, 2001. It was sold to the city in 1943 for a whopping four
bucks. The zoning category is C-4.

As best as I can make out from the satellite pics at Google Maps, this
is the piece of land bordered by Market St, 32nd St, 33rd St, and
Lancaster Avenue, on which some Drexel buildings are currently located.
