Philadelphia's Chinatown has been squeezed so many times over the years... the Vine Street expressway, the Convention Center, the Gallery, the Bus Terminal.... it is now a tiny little island of a community that is struggling to survive.
I believe that a Casino anywhere in the Market East area will mean the eventual death of Chinatown. Say what ever you want about needed tax revenues, Casinos are not the answer. I am not going to get into a moral debate about this subject on this blog, but I want to make it clear that I believe the negatives of gambling and casinos far far outweigh any positives. End of discussion.

I frequented Philadelphia 2001 to 2005. Chinatown was a highlight. Over the years though, I noticed it shrinking. Chinatown was a relief from the sometimes opressive cityscape. Nothing like some warm soup when it's 13 degrees out.
I'm with you on this one.
