It got leveled away but they will be back with vengeance... the former post office trailer lot and parking lot along with a small building also got mowed down and will be replaced by one very large park to be named Penn Park in the near future.

A few new spots have recently opened up in Philly due to new construction which allow fantastic views of the ever growing Philadelphia skyline - nearly unrecognizable from the late 80's.

And here's one from the Winter - an Amtrak Acela and Philly skyline broadside view. Currently the area is under construction for the future site of Penn Park. As it sits now, it's a dirt lot. It was a Post Office parking lot. Figured Winter with snow cover would be the best bet until the grass fills in.
