Wait, you guys haven't heard? Now that the NYC authorities have approved Comcast putting its logo on top of 30 Rock, it has cancelled plans for THIS building, and will just add 59 floors to 30 Rock.

I need documentary and/or digital photos as evidence to substantiate any claims previously made or will be made. Everything else is hearsay...LOL.

NOTHING is impossible for Comcast.

I like the idea kraggman. I can expand on that idea, and say that maybe they can use the attendants booth as the reception desk at the Four Seasons upstairs! That way, everybody wins. The historians get what they want by not demolishing a historical structure, and we can still get the skyscraper!

What do you guys think!?

Wait what historical value does this thing really have, or are you just joking.

So true. Well, on the weekdays. Weekends its desolate for some reason. I know people tend to be off, but Philly seems ghostly on weekends.

Maybe he's thinking of the "ghosts" of "Terror Behind the Walls" at Eastern State.

-OR-

Maybe he's Haley Joel Osment and thinks that all the people he sees walking around Philly during the weekend are dead.
