It is an excellent photo, Ray. Ditto the thanks. The proposed Lussenhop's Folly is even worse than this, of course. The Radian extends away from those dinky properties where non-owner-occupants dare to live -- and presents its elongated towering facade along the already unattractive Walnut and Sansom Streets. Lussenhop's Folly runs along the building on Pine Street and across the backs of those on Baltimore Avenue, doing much more damage in both cases to the visual aesthetics for pedestrians and the people who live in its figurative and sometimes literal shadow. Reminds me of the lady in Atlantic City who got lots of national press coverage because she wouldn't sell her house to the developers and ended up hemmed-in closely on three sides by five or six stories of casino. The latter, incidentally, eventually got torn down because the developers didn't really know what they were doing (and lost more than their shirts). As developers frequently don't (know) or do (because they generally have little invested of their own compared to what they talk other people into putting up -- not always by being totally truthful).
