What we owe West Philadelphia
by Meredith Aska McBride
excerpt:
The Rodin administration's development of the 40th Street
corridor created, as Facilities spokesman Tony Sorrentino
put it, a "seam" that tangibly connected Penn with West
Philadelphia. This was a welcome change from our past
spatial forays, especially our 60s-era land grab in the
Black Bottom district north of campus that tore the
fabric of the neighborhood.
We've since promised never to expand westward beyond 40th
Street. Our present efforts in West Philly are
commitments of time and money -- such as the West
Philadelphia Tutoring Project or the Urban Nutrition
Initiative -- rather than of physical colonization. While
negotiating our role is still challenging, I'd like to
think we're becoming part of the neighborhood instead of
towering over it.
haha: "towering"
