i'm just seriously afraid that they will sail it away after it's all done. does philadelphia have enough high-end clientele to afford this? - not trying to be mean - but a lot of columbus avenue is not too much to crow about - just thinking of the traffic & parking there gives me cringes.

yep - is that still by Ikea??? thought RXR (?) bought it to make it into a floating condo thingie with restaurants & shops too??? guess people think it has to be moved to a fancier neighborhood???
so - - - why with all their money some billionaire like Aponte couldn't buy this thing & fix it up for Philly? it would be great for the economy & for the whole east coast actually. like make it into a giant casino - it's all stripped down of the asbestos so you only gotta buy stuff to fix it up!!!
