My newspaper gave this event front-page coverage, with a different take. http://www.phillyrecord.com/daily-2010/PDR-12-09-10.pdf --Tony West The DP had yet another take... including this truly memorable paragraph: "In 2009, developers announced they planned to build the hotel at 40th and Pine streets. They changed locations after nearby residents expressed concerns that the building would harm the neighborhood’s identity. The project site was then moved to Walnut Street to fit in better with the road’s commercial aesthetic." I'm afraid that the Penn people really believe this, and that Edmund Burke (who said it before Georgio Santayana was born) will prove to be correct that "Those who forget history are destined to repeat it."
