I doubt the millennials would know any of that. 
At least now you have a tower at the end of Market Street. |
Wow, you're right; I remember that. You just brought back some good memories.
I remember they were talking about building skyscrapers on top of the Gallery back then; there were suppose to be huge skyscrapers at 13th and Market and Delaware and Market to but they never did it. If I remember right the one at 13th and Market was suppose to be a Transportation Complex of some sort but the one on the end of Market Street was suppose to be really tall and dynamic. Back in those days when it was delayed I spoke to Mayor Rizzo about it but he just shrugged and said, "Some plans don't happen!"
You bring back some really good memories. There use to be a drug store where that Restaurant is on 12th and Market is now; the Hard Rock place use to be drug store called Sun Ray; I use to go in there to talk to a lady who worked there.
