My choices were very, very different unemployed actors and models and anyone from South America.

Trying to remember when Rounds closed -- perhaps the mid-1990s. I end to remember the possible hires as much as the actual hires

@Bearofdistinction listed many wonderful thing about Philadelphia, I agree. Most important to me: history, museums. universities.

I was only there once. It was not comparable to Rounds, which may be why it's still open.

It took me a while to like Philadelphia too. I liked the location, near New York and Washington and the low cost of housing. And the people.

Come on. We both know if there was federal funds involved the selection process could not favor "the original leaders." I know Jacob Fisher from Pennrose, but forget whether he worked on the John Anderson project. I apologize for questioning like this, but I worked for one of the city housing agency (not PHA), so am aware of the rules.

Yes, I am certainly aware of the Senior Living Community. But, could you describe how residents were selected? Wasn't there federal money involved? If so, there had to be more complicated selection of tenants than you mention.

How long ago did you live in Philadelphia? I rarely go near Rittenhouse Square. The area around Fitler Square is more interesting now that the bike path extends over the river to South Philadelphia. Also the Barnes Foundation has revitalized the area around Logan Square. Barnes Foundation draws people from all over the world because of the A+ art museum. I live near the Barnes -- much more interesting neighborhood now.
