* The UNISYS sign on One Liberty Place (the ZBA turned it down, does
anyone know where the PCPC stood on this?)
* Putting the Foxwoods slot parlor into the space now occupied as The
Gallery (Nutter and Rendell are for it; Chinatown leaders -- whose area backs
up onto the Gallery -- are strongly opposed. Has anyone really considered
issues like traffic, the clientele it will attract to Market Street East, the
chance that people will really use SEPTA to get there?)
* Campus Inn (whatever happened to "vox populi, vox dei est"? Also, is
the report in the DP really true, that the developers' attorney "said the
approval application submitted to the ZBA stipulated that the hotel be used
for
extended-stay visits only"? If this is the case, then what happens if
someone comes in and just wants a room for the night? Will they be legally
required
to either turn the person down or rent the room for whatever the stated
minimum for "extended stay" is, whether the person uses it or not? And what
will
be the definition of "extended stay" -- three or more days, five or more
days?)
Enquiring minds want to know.
