C'mon you guys - this is PHILADELPHIA!!!! We have plenty of neighborhood-destroying towers (Philadelphia definition or a tower: anything over 4 floors (incl. basement)) going up everywhere, and this city will be forever changed as a result. We must stop it NOW.

No boom you say? No boom??? Forget Chicago and New York - our boom rivals the likes of Wichita, Winnipeg even. New York and Chicago can't seriously be mentioned in the same breath. Consider the bloated 7-story Le Grenier being constructed at 11th & Spruce. And the 6 floors of the mighty National threaten to cast an insidious shadow across the far reaches of Old City - a neighborhood already darkened by that grotesque 65 foot shaft of concrete, glass and steel, York Square. And the vast proportions of Old City 108 simply defy description in earthbound human terms.

Look, you insane people, if you can't see that Philadelphia is being transformed into the Hong Kong of the Atlantic seaboard, you have all been blinded by the absurd phallic grandeur of these fascist monoliths. Wake up Philadelphia! We are in the midst of a hyperboom, a whirlwind transformation that will render our faire greene burg unrecognizable in a matter months and utterly obliterate our varied and venerable patchwork of weedy lots. WE MUST STOP THIS!
