I don't think so. I'm assuming the "debacle" (not sure i'd call it that...) that you're referring to was the mass exodus of virtually all of center city's residents due to the crazy media coverage and scare tactics in the Pope-visit lead up that led to a crazy slow weekend for businesses.

B/c once the streets were closed...it was wonderful.
