The National Building Implosion


In case you missed it the old National Building has been imploded and the convention center in Philadelphia will be expanded. Now I have had occassion to be around the area where the convention center is located and it was already a huge place! But I guess they need more room! I do know that if the Philadelphia convention center is expanded then they will have more room for more events thus being able for them to make more money.

I think I remember hearing in the news about how the convention center was saying that their lack of space accounted for them not being able to book as many events as they would like - so this will probably help.

Personally I like the older buildings in Philadelphia but I guess it wasn't feasable to keep that building up and operating. At least its not because they want to put another luxury apartment or condo building in the space but I suspect that we will be getting more of those anyway.
