Yeah yeah, Nutter planned big cuts all along and he was lying to you when he campaigned about how much he was looking out for the best interest of the city. Let it go…
The “cool kids” in Philly are mad because their beloved Fishtown lost a library, a pool, AND a firetruck while most other places just lost 1 thing. Sucks, eh? Ever think that maybe 1. your hood was over-represented by those things according to planning stats used for cities nationwide or 2. City Hall thinks you’ll be just fine without them, probably by showing some damn initiative and creating community-run programs to cover gaps in learning and recreation?

It would be nice if all the people angry about the cuts the city is going to have to make actually heard sustainability director Mark Allen Hughes eloquent and sobering opinion on the matter a while back at JB’s.
Just sayin’.

Wouldn’t Bizarro Nutter be . . . . John Street?

@ John Lightstone:
Yeah, but then I wouldn’t get to play with Photoshop.

re: “It would be nice if all the people angry about the cuts the city is going to have to make actually heard sustainability director Mark Allen Hughes eloquent and sobering opinion on the matter a while back at JB’s.”
Hmmm, wonder if he has any influence in the Nutter Administration about what firms the city uses for financial planning and/or investments. I’m sure both ING & Barnes Noble would be up to being the new corp. public library branch for the Rittenhouse Sq. area.
Or is that branch sustainable and not needing synergy?

@jeffreybleachedblack: but you can’t possibly photoshop anything better than this photo. You just can’t.

1. Yes, the photo is quite awesome
2. Fishtown is not “cool” and neither is any city hood more so than another. Mmy point was that it is recently heavy with activists who feel slighted by Nutter after supporting him for election.
3. I’m also saying we shouldn’t think Nutter is duplicitous just because we may not agree with a tough decision that had to be made. Hey library closings make a nasty soundbyte, but compare to the burbs:
Cherry Hill has ONE public library for 71,000 people
Philadelphia AFTER cuts will have 43 for 1,450,000 people
So, either Philadelphia will STILL have more than twice as many libraries per person as some so-called affluent towns who seem to be doing quite well at cranking out productive members of society…OR Cherry Hill has 1/3rd as many as some people would say they need, and I don’t see their kids running wild in the streets from boredom.
Don’t talk size of library branches either, because a book at one can be ordered from another.
Some of the decision to close libraries came from numbers like these, showing that we can do without a few of them.

re: “I’m also saying we shouldn’t think Nutter is duplicitous just because we may not agree with a tough decision that had to be made.”
Nutter fucked up. He and Council decided things behind closed doors without involving the public in the process or in plain view of the press.
