Reminded at that The Legacy of and history were erased by Midwoodid's new tower. The least they could have done was save a few facades or follow through on their commitment re: a site-specific mural. Faye Anderson

.The Art Newspaper Philadelphia Art Commission made mockery of review process. In less than 40 minutes, Commissioners gave final approval for a site-specific public art bonus to a repetitive concept design that erased Black and LGBTQ+ history of the site.

Saving these historic, ca.1700s facades should have been mandatory for redevelopment. The city’s cavalier demolition of Revolutionary War-era buildings in Old City is an ongoing failure to protect our Mayor Cherelle L. Parker

It makes me sick that the density extremists don't see the value of protecting this African American burial ground for it's archaeological and cultural importance.

@MichelleAMyer: Your article indicates that I am opposed to the health center. Nope, I am in support. However, since the Friends' Hospital campus is a , the 170 year old 'Lawnside' cottage should be incorporated into the project.

Andy Ngô 🏳️‍🌈 Josh Kruger I actually believe this young man but it still doesn't justify murder.

Unfortunately he chose to go in the middle of the night & fired 7 shots. Seems planned, 1st degree. Unless we find Josh called or texted him to come over then it may be a mitigating factor.

Sad all around.

R.I.P. Josh Kruger Once upon a time you blocked me, as I was complaining profusely about Philly. As a result, I always admired your passion for the city. I can only hope that your death will inspire change.

'Not enough people care about old buildings,' the most pro-preservation improv line ever. Has Saving Places asked Jennifer Coolidge to be on their board? If not, the ship needs a better captain. Q#1: Why aren't National Register-listed properties protected?
