Pearl's been very cagey with the media. It's a lot easier to get quotes from Samschick (who, once he opens his mouth, can't close it) or Blatstein or even Dranoff than it is to get quotes from Pearl.

Most of the really interesting stuff I've learned about them I've learned from talking with architects who work with Pearl.

Zoning policy has been so tangled in Philadelphia for so long it's hard to get used to seeing a skyscraper (even a small one) rising unannounced on a busy downtown street. Though the main goal of Mayor Michael Nutter's reforms was to make by-right development the norm, that hasn't happened often because the city hasn't updated its zoning maps. The Beacon worked because the site was properly zoned.
Oh look, Inga has been reading me.
