For a view of a complex and sophisticated governmental partnership crafted by Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell -- from a perspective that is not Center-City-centric -- take a look at today's Philadelphia Public Record, at: http://phillyrecord.com/2007/1206/1206-index.html Good article -- especially considering how negative both the Inky and DN have been about the Councilwoman's brilliant strategic use of the YSC to benefit a part of the neighborhood that, as you note, is "vulnerable." But you left something out. My sources inform me that the $80,000 flackette (she got a raise) sent you the following comment: "The University City District is delighted that its plans for the community center and safety-themed high school have come to fruition," said UCD Executive Director, Wendell Lewis. "It's another example of how our award-winning 'clean and safe' program, coupled with the successful marketing of the University City District using classy banners, newly designed urbane storefronts, and crowd-pleasing concerts by world-renown orchestras in our very own UCD parks can transform and elevate a neighborhood. We wish to thank Councilwoman Jannie L Blackwell for helping make this all happen."
