[UC] Another of Penn's "vetted" shops in high-cost space goes kablooie

Article below from the DP.   Another aspiring entrepreneur, carefully vetted by the Omar Blaik team at Penn to have the privilege of paying too much rent for university-owned commercial space, is pulling up stakes. It's my (admitted) conjecture that folks like this get bamboozled by the smoo

Huh. In my orientation in '90 I was never informed that Center City was the "Badlands". I got held up at gunpoint in the lobby of my 22nd & Spruce apartment in '95. Go figure. At least we didn't have trash piling up in the back or random gunfights next door or... cats pretending they're your de

I'm sorry, exactly *how* is this illegal, may I ask? What exactly is illegal about helping unregistered people get registered to vote? Unless this organization is saying "register to vote--but only if you register Democrat," I don't see what is disingenuous about it, "progressive agenda" or no.

Bill, In all the registration drives that I've seen (including one yesterday on Penn Campus), they asked, "Are you registered to vote?" and if you said no, said, "Would you like to register? It only takes a minute." Then, I was given a form to fill out on my own. I suppose that they would answer

That, I think, is the most smartest thing Street has ever planned, What a way to get people back into the city. And I mean a REAL city like New York. Just because we're number 5 in the USA, doesn't mean we're alive. (yet) How cool will Philly be in 2006, maybe better than New York! Dan Myers --
