Love it or hate it, it looks like there will be a Foxwoods casino on Columbus Boulevard in South Philadelphia. Las Vegas casino-mogul Steve Wynn has stepped in to partner with the local group seeking to build the casino. In an
interview Thursday (Feb. 25) Wynn said the facility will be "the cutest casino you have ever seen." That's a phrase that will make anti-casino forces cringe. He also wants locals to come to the new gambling palace (if you are against casinos, get ready to cringe again). Here the quote from The Inquirer story:
Wynn called its proximity to Society Hill and the Walt Whitman Bridge "a dandy." He said the area was "all full of my old friends - the Italians and Jews and every conceivable type of ethnic group that likes to play craps and gamble - and they're only 10 minutes away."
