Why Wilmington Just Why???
I have a question. How come back in the 1970s-80s when the Hercules Tower was being planned, why, just why would they abandon the plan to build a 42 floor, 600+ feet tower in Wilmington:
https://i0.wp.com/townsquaredelaware...9/hercules.jpg In exchange for this ugly 12 floor building that was not so successful: http://mcconnellco.com/wp-content/up...a_Featured.jpg It just baffles me that Wilmington would abandon such an ambitious project that would help jumpstart a great skyline into this ugly 12 story building that failed and is now vacant a couple decades later? I really do hope that we could see another ambitious project like this soon and that it would actually get built. :( To read more about this proposal -> https://townsquaredelaware.com/2012/...-were-going-6/ |

Lack of funds. Money was hard to come by in the 70's . Interest rates got up to 13%. Peaked above 20% in the 80's. They are basically giving money away nowadays compared to the past. One of the reason theres so much development across the city,country, globe. |

Looks like there's no hope of keeping the Riversharks stadium. I do think some nice athletic fields for Rutgers would be a better use, though. A competitive Rutgers is good for South Jersey. Getting students out an about around there area will give it some life and make office/retail developments nearby more attractive.
