Philadelphia CC 10% to 15% Over Budget
This reads strangely familiar…..all they need is a suit filed against them by the hoteliers…..politicians playing around with our money (the state is footing the bill). “Delays hike costs of Convention Center expansionBy Marcia Gelbart Inquirer Staff Writer “Two years of delayed demolition work on the Convention Center expansion have taken a toll: The project’s […]
Good Questions!
Kudos, NewsLanc, on the thoughtful, measured, eloquent editorials in reference to F&M’s avoidance of media and re: their Public Safety Director. Every question you posed was a question I had been thinking about ever since the incident. Hope you will keep the pressure on!
How Marriott Will Appear
The first sections of the hotel tower facade have been set in place, on its east side. You can see a picture of them at the following link: https://newslanc.com/images/100_5180.JPG These panels have repeatedly been described as “precast concrete” at many different LCCCA and committee meetings. The entire hotel tower will be covered with panels like […]
People Under Glass Pyramids Should Not Throw Stones
The additional cost of the glass pyramid covering the roof terrace was largely offset by savings realized through the elimination of expensive water insulation, interior storm water drains, and, of course, fenestration all rendered superfluous by the enclosing pyramid structure itself. The resulting year-round “flex-space” lends itself to a number of public and private […]
Missing Tim Russert
You never know how integral a part of your life a person whom you have never met face to face has become until that person suddenly disappears from the scene. [My wife] and I were out shopping and for a meal tonight. We only learned about the death of Tim Russert an hour ago. Both […]
Convention Center / Hotel One Big Building
I was surprised to learn that there is only one central location for all ofthe Convention Center facility’s heating and cooling; these units will serve the entire Marriott Hotel and the Convention Center. The heating and cooling will be distributed by two four-pipe loops, two for heating and two for cooling, separated into zones. The […]
Re “In the Eyes of a Visitor” in Planning & Real Estate
How??????? The people of Lancaster City and County have practically nothing to do with how “successful” the project is. Even Interstate’s people have admitted this. All of the planning and negotiations are between Interstate and convention organizers. If someone can explain to me how “local city and county upper middle class plus will make the […]
The Other Side of Trash
Since I first heard of NewsLanc.Com on WLPA 1490, I have been in love with the site and material. I have long looked for someone to call out the truth in what I always felt was shady reporting by local newspapers and outlets. I always felt that the wrong side of reporting was always published. […]
Did F & M Seek Assistance From City Police?
Did F&M contact the Lancaster Police last Tuesday seeking assistance and response to the “trespassers” at Nevonia or did they merely inform the LCPD of the actions and response of their private security force to the events in question? News accounts would have you believe that F&M only sent in their “troops” when the LCPD […]
Connections With Others
Mr. Fry – Read this book! Tom Morris, in his latest business best seller If Harry Potter Ran General Electric, points out the importance of leaders maintaining their emotional self-control as Headmaster and Professor Albus Dumbledore always did. Page 18: “How we govern and express our emotions can deepen or destroy our connections with others.”
Lancaster Post Edition Too Focused on John Fry
The Post, this issue is far too much about John Fry. The readers that have really taken a liking to the publication may feel there is just too much about the assault. Please do not take the wrong road. Continue to report, put smiles on the faces of those that appreciate the Post and how […]
COMMENTARY: Proposed Revision to Charter is Promising
According to a thought-provoking June 7 New Era editorial, the Home Rule Commission is considering selecting future County Commissioners by districts, rather than at large. This would be a big improvement over the current proposal that would reduce minority party representation from one of three commissioners to one of five. NewsLanc considered any such provision […]
Have We “Scratched the Surface” for Downtown Parking?
Some comments on your parking story. If that new garage at Queen and Chesnut is a private one, doesn’t that mean a large private benefit is created by the County’s ownership and occupancy of 150 N. Queen? The reality is that the County, and its workers, will create far more benefit and economic stimulus to […]
