They Don’t Have To Sell Their Souls, It’s Already In Them: Sugarhouse Back On Track
We begin today with a question: If Great Depression 2.0 isn’t economically depressing enough to tank plans for the Sugarhouse casino on Delaware Avenue, then why in the hell did we even bother to have it in the first place? After a few months in which it looked like Sugarhouse was having the same kinds of cash flow problems you and I are (well, not quite the same — I don’t think anybody at Sugarhouse tried to make their own at-home asthma inhaler kit, for instance), Sugarhouse has gotten the funding it needs and expects to break ground on its little piece of Why The Terrorists Are Right About Us in early October. According to KYW, Professor Sugarshit’s House Of Pension-Bleeding Pathos could see an opening of its “interim casino” in just ten months. Bummer.

My favorite is how the FUCT people at FACT are planning on spending the 1st installment of the bribe money for which they sold out their neighbors. In the spirit this week that tool Maggie O’Brien said they would use the cash to put signs on Girard that say “Welcome to Fishtown” and list famous fishtonians…
I can just see it now: “Welcome to Fishtown, Home Of Justina Morley.” “Welcome to Fishtown, Oxy Capital of the US”
What a bunch of sell out motherfuckers…

If I don’t get namechecked on one of those motherfucking signs there will be hell to pay.
