Opponents of the tower, I wanted to see if the community love-in which Al brought to our attention was mentioned in today's DP. (The secret gathering of the famous McPenntrification loving "community" was not in the DP print edition yesterday.)
Look what I found today. (Read closely) http://media.www.dailypennsylvanian.com/media/storage/paper882/news/2009/10/09/News/High-Demand.For.ExtendedStay.Hotels-3798764.shtml Nearly 7 years ago, am upscale redesign pf Clark Park was overwhelmingly rejected by the community. The Penn marketing agency, UCD, waited a number of years and then pretended that the destruction of the park was a popular plan in the community. (A UCD committeeman, Tony West, claimed that the community had "17 public meetings" to cheer for the UCD plan over the years.) If you read this hotel propaganda closely, you will understand that the 40th and Pine hotel has not been shelved or moved to a commercial district. We are in a waiting period and a new plan to jam the tower down our throats is being constructed. (A friend pointed out that the DP is nothing but a marketing rag this year-and I agree.) Concerned residents should understand that the famous unannounced open public meetings at SHCA will be fiercely protected during the next round. New city servants will be told that the hotel tower is unanimously loved in the charity seeking community and only a rubber stamp will be necessary. The corporate patterns are very easy to predict once you understand the Penn process. Glenn ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
