A second downtown? Just because you build it doesn't mean they come. Remember the Ridgway Library?
ReplyDeleteA glass curtain skyscrapers go this one would have been a doozy.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a shame. Between that entire part of Northern Libs with it's dozen or so proposals and the Penn's Landing redevelopment and the redevelopment of Columbus boulevard....all being pretty much dead or in limbo, all we have to show is 3 of 5 ugly apartment buildings and a 1/2 built casino that looks to have been converted from an old Best Buy store. I give up on this city.
