A Philadelphia developer’s ideas for the area around the Divine Lorraine Hotel on North Broad Street are much bigger than just the historic building he’s renovating. The map of big dreams stretches across and around the old hotel: covering four blocks along Broad Street. (See map below.) Some current residents are wondering why their buildings aren’t on the map.
Imagine looking at a map of the block you live on — and not seeing your home. Instead, the map shows a new building.
“I first saw that drawing last Thursday. When I saw that my house was obliterated — that I was not expecting at all and that was quite a shock,” said Susan Crawshaw.
