Penn/UCD badmouths this neighborhood to this day. Penn still markets itself by exaggerating how they singlehandedly waived their magic wand and turned this "post industrial wasteland" of ten years ago into the heaven-on-earth we see now. And now, as Ross pointed out, they've even wrote a book about it. UCD still implies that without them, all that we now see is a mere mirage that will disappear as if someone pulled the plug on the TV.
Ahem. This gives me a chance to point out that in fact *I* wrote the book about it several years before Judy. Or at least the movie treatment. It can be found, free, at: http://rossbender.org/gentrification.html My lawyers are just waiting to get a look at Judy's book to see how much she plagiarized, and what we can get in damages. -- Ross Bender http://rossbender.org
