Fresh on the heels of news that developer Bart Blatstein (with Joseph Volpe) has purchased PECO’s Delaware Station with two boutique hotels dreamed up for the space, word just got out that he has decided to withdraw his appeal of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board’s decision in November to license the proposed Live!

He says an appeal could take too long and there has been “significant” interest in his North Broad Street property at Broad and Callowhill, the former location of The Inquirer and Daily News.
