I’m not sure anyone is — IMO it’s marketed as part of a wider ballpark “experience” instead of just a snack while watching the game.

Matt, wouldn’t this be looking south on Broad Street from Lehigh? The drop off on the left would be the Reading’s tracks and the E.A. Wright Building at 2545 N Broad is in the background on the left.

As someone who mainly does Section 106 (of the NHPA 1966) I totally get this feeling.

No worries — I didn’t want to sound like I was going after your post — I just genuinely wasn’t sure if there was a new coup happening today 😅

While I understand the rise in costs and other challenges, the number of independent historical societies and archives (large and small) that are in distress or have closed over the the last 15-20 years is staggering.

The amount of times I’ve encountered people who not only don’t know their neighbors after living somewhere for years, but actively avoid talking to them perplexes me. They don’t need to be your best friends, but if nothing else it’s good to have some sense of who is around you every day.

And this doesn’t discount Pluto either, which is tidally locked with Charon and forms a binary minor planet system! Celestial objects don’t have to be major planets to be worthy of study!

I’d love to be added then, please!
