On the other hand, I had completely forgotten there were ever plans for a Calder museum, so this is a very pleasant surprise.
FWIW, I don't think we'll ever see 676 capped west of where the cap currently goes (unless they close off the little open bit east of 21st Street). It wouldn't really be feasible or make much sense given the combination of the on/off ramps, Park Town Place, and the bridge over the Schuylkill. Any money that ever gets freed up for more capping should go to capping it from 18th to 20th, then expanding east to Broad. Would also love to see them do something about the ramps that take up the entire block between Vine/Callowhill/15th/16th, but who knows what the solutions there could be.
