I thought this was so important that I had to write a post about, in addition to tweeting it.
Wynn Resorts announced that they were withdrawing from the proposed Foxwoods project in South Philly, which would be located within 500 feet of my front door. (See the stories on 6ABC, CBS3, NBC10, and the Inquirer.)
I think this is great news. And I hope it means that Foxwoods Philly is totally dead. Let them pull the license tomorrow.
I never wanted this thing nearby and I never thought it would have landed here in the first place, but I just underestimated the level of back-slapping and back-room dealing that goes on in this city. Not having it here is a good thing for me, my family, and this neighborhood.
