The new version of The Skinny is now live, so if you're rockin' high speed, go check it out. If you're here on purpose, please accept our apologies and plea for patience -- this will indeed be updated to include Bridgeman's View Tower, the Barnes Tower, the Olympics and more good stuff like that. As time permits, we promise. |

* It is likely that none of the four proposals in the Penn's Landing image will be used, despite much public discourse and the efforts of the Inquirer and the University of Pennsylvania, leaving Penn's Landing exactly where it was before the process began. The low rating reflects this fact, not the designs themselves. Of the designs, phillyskyline.com liked Cesar Pelli's Founders Square design for Brandywine Realty best. |
