The market owner provided the space in a small office next to where the Satillite Coffee Shop is now. Anyway, UCD doesn'tt own the buildings at 3940-42 Chestnut Street. The "Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania" own them. Penn provides space at 3940 to UCD for office (and bagel distribution) use, and at 3942 Chestnut to the City of Philadelphia for police ministation use. So there isn't even that tenuous connection between Lt McCurdy and UCD. Rationalization and untenable assumptions by those who want UCD to look like heroes, hoping to rid the neighborhood of slumlords and others of the benighted unwashed masses, aside, this is more over-reaching on the parts of Wendell Lewis' minions to insinuate a private layer of government between the people and the legitimate authority conferred by: 1. The Philadelphia Home Rule Charter 2. The Pennsylvania Constitution 3. The United States Constitution. They're not going to get away with it. In large part because they're not smart enough to do so. And this business with a Philadelphia Police Lieutenant being made to look like a UCD flunkie just so they can advance their agenda, is an example of how bumbling they really are. Always at your service and ready for a diatribe -- er, dialog. Al Krigman ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
