Breaking news about the Friends of 40th  Street Meeting
 
Tom Lussenhop failed to show up to talk about the extended-stay hotel  
project at 40th between Pine  Baltimore.. There may be some hope that the  
message 
from the community has gotten through to the anointed.

That's a bummer, but Mr. Lussenhop and at least one other person told me that
the meeting and presentation were scheduled for Monday, not today.  I think
there may have been a communication problem.

Well Al, hope is a good thing.  But from my
experience, once Penn Real Estate knows that there
will be significant community opposition to their
towering over West Philadelphia; they take a
different path.

Ususally, a delay lets their plans go off the
community's radar.  They look for other paths to worm
through and also intensify the efforts for complete
secrecy.  How long has it been since we've heard about
BID, yet Lussenhop and Mel are still listed on a BID
steering committee?  And the community has still not
gotten an answer to the specific question about how
they got on this committee.

And I wonder when UCD is going to release the results
of the internal investigation about their violation of
federal law?  Of course, I'm joking about that!

So I'm going to join you and be hopeful while keeping
my eyes and ears open.

Hey Andrew,

Did any of them mention if they planned to announce
another open and public forum?

I wonder why they schedule wierd little presentations
at 8AM when most residents can't even come.

In the spirit of the famous Penn policy of community
engagement, why don't they schedule a well publisized
third, open and public forum?  This type of issue is
of interest to the whole community and it should be
announced publicly in the local newspaper at least 10
days in advance.

I thought your report about the Architectural
committee was very good.  Please keep up the good
work.
