Glenn cough apartments on folcroft area were cleared after fire broke out here, in a first floor unit around 10 30 p. M. Three people were taken to the hospital, as is a result, two elderly people transported nearly for evaluation, and one woman who lives in the apartment where the fire started, taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation. Fire crews were able to contain the flames to the one apartment, but the smoke and co was keeping everyone out now that the fire is extinguished. Red cross is ace something and close to two dozen of displaced at shelter that has been set up at the fire station. Were providing food for them, and just general comfort until theyre able to get back to the apartments tomorrow morning. When they get back, we get back in, there we can get in our beds, and sleep for good couple of hours. Thats what i would like to do. And no word yet on exactly when those residents would be allowed to return. They tell me, theyre hearing around 8 00, 9 00 this morning, fire o
It probably will expire before dawn tomorrow but throughout the day today and tonight theres the possibility of another two to 4inches of snow. Traveling up past allentown into the pocono area you might want to keep that in mind. Satellite shows you we still have that area of low pressure kind of pinwheeling off to our north continuing to push away from us. Dont expect a lot but there could be a popup rain or snow shower at some point. Temperatures this morning arent too bad, 42 degrees in philadelphia, 39 in allentown. I can see these dipping a little as the morning goes on before they start to slightly turn around. If youre dressing the kids i would still dress them fairly warmly because we are only going to be getting up to about 40 today and there will be a gusty wind through most of the day. On your smartphone the Storm Tracker Storm Tracker 6 app shows 42 right now, probably 38 by 8 oclock and i dont think were going very far today. And i dont think were going well probably sit t
About six floors i believe. Im not sure of the floors it goes up. I think that is primarily a question that we should ask glen scal vo to answer and we have been sensitive to the way it can be successful and as a wall material can be unsuccessful and the elements that we have tried to integrate into those portions of the building have to do with color, with add mixture, by creating release in the depth of the precast panels and variety of finishes in terms of smooth and rough finish and a big palet that changes the way light is perceived and the surface of the building is perceived so i think we have a very skillful architect and tried to maximize the visual impact of that material. Yeah. It looks like its going to be just for my personal preference if its a little bit darker its richer on that part about the third level up to the six level. Maybe he can i am getting outside of my licensing permissions. So basically the way that we have done it at the base of the building we have stone
Address two of the questions of the ones that you presented. I cannot address the tishman spire strategy in changing or creating their program. Art stone is a rental developer, owneroperator, and the intention here one of the intentions in redesigning the project was to design a rental high rise. We think weve got it right. Everybody has to make a subjective business judgment call in terms of the right balance and how many square feet for a studio, one bedroom, two bedroom is and is it 1100 feet or 1350 square feet . We have made a decision guided by the limits imposed by the eir and the original approvals to go to the higher unit end of unit count and adjust the size slightly lower. We still have met the 40 two and three bedroom threshold. Thats a factual statement and exactly where we were and recall us having been in 2005. In terms of the best way i can respond to the preponderance or not of families living in downtown hi rises is probably one hawthorn which is a project that my com
Was scheduled to come to you in december. Now it looks like its coming in january, and i will be the only person who has standing on the project because no one is paying attention to the fact that we are about to lose the Exposition Center of the city through demolition. Its on your advance calendars. How many of you know what henry adams and are andin and i know that is demolition of the concourse. I have in the past month have been invited to kpfas annual events which is in december, the green festival which was last week, and another thing. No one is paying attention because you dont give any notice and it will be exactly the same. Notice only goes to Property Owners within a 300foot radius and me because i get all notices. That is not very good notice. I have pleaded with the Planning Department staff, particularly Environmental Review, that they require owner to give notice to all of the tenants. The tenants come in there once a year. Kbfa and the green festival. No one knows they
