    @Cliffy6745 - after further review, you are right, the "new" Love Park is a pieceashit.
    I have absolutely no idea what they did besides plant a little grass.  They tore everything up only to put down a little grass. Everything else looks the same. Good thing that $20 mil didn't go to our crap broke school system...
    And they put a bunch of dumb benches and levels in, which you cannot sit on comfortably. Apparently there's a term for this crap - "hostile architecture."
    It is infuriating.  Good thing the Bok Building is a shuttered school and is now full with hipster bars while Love Park is closed for 2 years for that crap.

    Wait, what? What's one got to do with the other.

    Big fan of Bok. I'll cut you.

    That $17 or whatever million went into pointless renovations of a park when a valuable public vocational school is closed.

    Edit: Bok is just an example. Dillworth renovations, cool, it made a big difference to a very public space at city hall. I am all for fixing/improving park space (I see you Delaware waterfront), but make it worthwhile.

    Don't know how valuable that school was as a trade school. These stupid fucking labor unions never even looked to tap into those resources. Meanwhile, Johnny fuckin' Doc and Bill Keller start up their own "trade" school and have employed their own brood and have had zero graduates into the labor force. Don't get me started (please get me started). I have no problem with unions (mostly in theory, and for professional services) but labor unions can get fucked - specifically in this city is what I'm really talking about; their corruption and antiquated structure can go pound sand.

    Moving control of the school district away from the state and into the city's hands is a step in the right direction. But, as you say, look what they did with Love Park.

    Their gonna fuck up that Delaware River project, mostly because who the developer is - I believe they want a shit ton of parking and essentially strip malls. I mean that's exactly what I'm looking for in the city...

    I am fairly anti-union at this point. They run way too much and have too much power in general.  I don't know anyone that went to Bok, but I have heard decent things though.  Regardless, the point stands that schools are closing and they do that with Love Park.  Johnny Doc charter money laundering school.  How have the Feds not shut that thing down yet?

    Yeah, my neighborhood is up in arms about some of the plans.  Some of them have that supermarket you were referencing a while back though.  But yeah. South Street to Penn Treaty is generally great (outside of the casino that shall remain nameless). More of that and less malls.

    Is that dude rocking aviators and throwing side arm? If so, he is my hero.  They are probably just those flip glasses, but I really really hope they are aviators.

    I actually hated him as an announcer. He was always paired up with Andy Musser on Sports Channel. Musser always seemed like the JV team and Teke always seemed pretty boring to me. Think it was his voice
