>>> There are forces of nature, there are malevolent gods, there are ugly ghosts that belch beneath the street so forcefully that, in the dead of night, manhole covers pop off their placeholders. And then there is Wachovia. But sometimes you forget. To remedy this, the monster bank is currently going through the process of converting to old PNB building at One South Broad into its unlikely bitch. Sigh. [PhillyChitChat]
>>> Everybody always forgets, but this is why guys like Vince Fumo get re-elected: If you sent a fax months back via Hallwatch imploring the embattled senator to support the re-siting of the Foxwoods and Sugarhouse casinos, you would have received a two-page letter over the weekend from the Vince hisself. In it, Fumo states that he, too, is behind re-siting and won’t support the state’s riparian rights; he also admits that even though he introduced the 1,500-foot buffer zone bill, it’ll be a cold day in hell before it passes. He would know.
>>> And hey, West Philly: Looks like you’re about to have a cute lil’ bro — CiraTown. You may also remember it from such masterworks as Ghost Town and There Ain’t But Shit Down There. [Inky]
