PHILADELPHIA | Highrise Development Thread X

[duffey]

Philly's chinatown isn't asking the world around it to stand still. they are asking to stop being chopped up. This proposal is MUCH closer to DC's chinatown arena than any comp to MSG. Chinatown has been eroding since the vine street expy. This arena will be great.... on the 41 nights a year that there's a Sixers game. otherwise it'll be a deadzone inside a dead zone.

I do love the transit requirement for going to games here. I just think inga sees a bigger picture and is reading the tea leaves correctly. its one more nail in the chinatown coffin.
