They never learn.
Or, as Pete Seeger might have written:
Where has all the fast talk gone?
Long time passing
Where has all the fast talk gone?
Long time ago
Where has all the fast talk gone?
Penn has lied at every turn

When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
The chief of the anointed in our little neighborhood, the hegemoniacs at the
University of Pennsylvania, apparently never learn their lesson.
They're now applying to the Historical Commission to rehabilitate the house at
400 S 40th Street (formerly the Thoroughgood Nursing Home) and build a
seven-story building on the property.
Less unacceptable than the 11-story slab they were trying to foist off on the
community in the form of an "extended stay" hotel. But seven stories will also
be out-of-scale, too. And, given the horrible excuse for architecture they
tried to foist off on us with the earlier project, I personally have little
belief the current offering will be anything but ugly and inappropriate as well.
Penn and/or its proxies are scheduled to make a "Review in Concept"
presentation to the Historical Commission on Tuesday, Sept 27, at 9:45 am, in
room 578 City Hall. Since Penn forgot (it can't have been deliberate, given
their self-proclaimed mandate for partnership with the peasants -- er --
community) to let anybody know about this, those interested will have their
first opportunity to learn and be flabbergasted at this hearing.
Hey... maybe they'll surprise us. Wanna take odds?
