Frank and Ray,
Did either of you see the paper copy of the DP?
there's only been 2 articles about this hotel in the dp. the
first was on dec 6 and the print version simply showed a
graphic of the monopoly board game (the article was entitled
"Developers want to pass go, collect $200; neighborhood
hesitant").

the second article appeared this week, jan 23, and it did
not have any illustration; it was buried on p. 10 as a
general article about hotels being planned in philly.

I first discovered lussenhop's distorted early drawing on
the 'illadelph blog' on dec 2:

this distorted drawing was similar to the one originally
published by uc review on oct 10, when it first broke the
news about the 10-story hotel:

then on jan 16 uc review printed marianna thomas' drawings,
showing the hotel as having more mass/scale/height than
lussenhop's earlier drawings:

a week later uc review published lussenhop's revised
drawing, which now closely matches thomas' drawing (and what
one would see in person after walking over to the radian and
comparing 11 stories with an adjacent 3 story mansion):

lussenhop's new drawing shows dramatically how his earlier
drawings were a distortion, and it's now quite plain, to
anyone looking at the new drawing, just how far this hotel
is out of character and scale with the neighborhood around
40th and pine.

so far this hotel plan has been delivered piecemeal, pitched
to limited groups and tete-a-tetes over coffee, each time
with newly questionable reasons from the developer to
justify it. there hasn't been one community-wide forum
(public, inclusive, properly announced, in a non-penn
setting) to examine this proposal, which continues to be a
moving target.
the one constant in all this is lussenhop's adherence to the
massive height/mass/scale of an 11-story hotel, and
neighbors' opposition to that and its consequences.
