Casino Forum Tomorrow Night

Tomorrow night at the PA Convention Center will be a public forum on the casino designs put together by the Daily News [now under new ownership] and Penn Praxis. The Daily News wrote about it two weeks ago here describing the event as:

...a chance to see, up close, the design visions for all five casino developers vying for a license. The developers also will address how well the designs will be integrated into our landscape and contribute to the city's beauty.

A panel of design experts will offer reactions, and you'll have a chance to ask questions about the designs.

At the same time, the event will give the gaming companies a unique chance to hear early and constructive reaction from important members of the design community - not to mention the public.

I'll be heading over for the event which starts at 6.30p. I really don't know much about the plans, but I am familiar with the resistance. As it stands right now, with my limited knowledge of everything, I stand with the resistance to keep the casinos out. I hope to learn much tomorrow night. I may bring my laptop along to take notes [unlikely], but I should definitely be bringing along my camera gear.

More info on the casinos via Philly IMC and Hallwatch.

May 24, 6:30p - 9 p — Pennsylvania Convention Center. The event is free, but space is limited. I have no idea if the seats are filled up yet. Email here to see if you can still get a seat.
