NOw, this is just electronic gameas and slots, right? This place, for now, will not have any "real gaming tables for some time?
I hope I am wrong! |
The Sugar House font makes me think of Porky's and a 1960 Supermarket entrance at the same time....;)
|
Its been a while since we talked about the riverfront development...but...did the casinos submit redesigns to better interact with the Praxis plan or was the Praxis plan around the casinos?
|
Parking garage
WOW just what everyone always wanted on the water front a massive parking garage...lol......well at least it is going to bring in revenue for the city......I too hope there is a re-design in accordance with the Penn Praxis plans....
|
If i recall, Penn Praxis doesn't have any teeth so Sugarhouse can build what they want as long as they get the permits from the city
|
Yes indeed. Penn Praxis has no physical teeth whatsoever insofar as already-permitted developments are exempted from the plan. Nutter has endorsed it, though, and several of its early recommendations are moving forward. Insofar as SugarHouse is concerned, though, they do have the ability to build and ignore the city, but I'm hopeful the city can prevail upon them for better massing/siting on their spot.
|
Is this really under construction? Or are they still digging for historical importances?
|
Those look like cars, not trees, on top of the parking garage. Piece of crap!
|
i thought i remember reading something saying that the parking was going to be moved away from the casino and they were working with the penn praxis recommendations.

What I would to improve this... 1.) Make the garage smaller. 2.) Make the garage smaller. 3.) Bring it out to the street. 4.) Stick some retail on its streetside. 5.) Put a walking trail between it and the river. 6.) Make the garage smaller. 7.) Put a green roof on top of the garage. |

With respect to a potential redesign in alignment with the Penn-Praxis recommendations, SugarHouse said at one point it'd be open to reconsidering their plans. But that was a few months back and could have been an empty statement. Who knows.

Can you imagine a neon "SUGARHOUSE" sign next the Ben Franklin Bridge? My god, I cringe. :hell: Most of my distaste comes from the lazy lingo regarding "tax revenue." Bring companies here, cut taxes, and create jobs. Slot revenue is a failed stop gap. --------------------------------------- I don't want to start an anti-casino rant...I'm just concerned about our city. We're not a savvy bunch and my fear is that this endeavor will cripple the momentum we have going for us right now. |
Man no wonder in the simcity games I put down casinos and my advisors always yelled at me.

|
Table Games is to Slots, as:
A) Permanent Casino is to "Temporary" casino Did we just give carte blanche to put up a cheap slot box "temporarily"? Pros and cons of the casinos aside, ay meu deus. |
The casino at Philly Park is a tempoary one , I think. I believe that they are now starting to build the permanent casino with more slot capacity and the possiblity to accomidate table games in the future. I would assume that Sugarhouse would do the same thing.

I dont think they have the money for a neon sign. Looking at the plans of Sugarhouse that lot is poised to be 80% surface parking lots. The interem phase that they plan to shoot up is absolutely hideous. |
