I don't usually like to clog up these threads with personal comments, but I feel compelled to say how proud and pleased I am to live in a city where effort is made to restore and maintain the beautiful, architecturally interesting building fronts when designing new, modern spaces. I believe this costs a lot extra, and I also believe it is far more complicated than bulldozing everything down and building from scratch. However, if Philadelphia doesn't want to end up looking like Houston or Dallas then these efforts must be encouraged and supported. So to the folks at Curtis, and the folks at 10 Rittenhouse, I say thank you for a fine piece of work. To the rest of you, thank you for enduring my opinion.
