What a great idea Earni. 

He skates around the key issue, but it's clear that his "rebirth" involves closing down the ports and opening casinos.

How's about dredging the river so we can get some really big container ships in here and get more jobs down the waterfront.  Somehow, I think being a longshoreman might be a better career choice than being a valet at a casino.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

Burying Philly would enhance the waterfront.

Burying the interstate along the waterfront makes sense. As you say, one question is, how many cities can afford to dump the ports and make their waterfronts into yuppie theme parks?

Also, how much of the tab are my federal taxes going to pick up, even though I don't expect ever to visit Philadelphia again?

How's about dredging the river so we can "throw in more dead mobsters and gang members."

This is unbelieveable. I think that he wants another "Big Dig". That would create a lot of jobs for about ten years, and in the meantime, they can enjoy the casinos, so the gamblers won't be too inconvenienced trying to get to Atlantic City.

Or finally building the intersection with I-76. When's that supposed to be finished?
