The Unisys Sign Dilemma

A hearing about the proposed Unisys sign on Liberty Two last night was so full of Philadelphians acting like the world would end if the sign was/was not put up it isn’t even over yet. The Zoning Board held a two-hour hearing and then called it quits, for now.

Unisys has essentially said the company will not move downtown without a sign, for some reason, and some historian even testified in favor of it.

The head of SCRUB also chimed in: “Do we prostitute our visual space in order to lure them here?” The residents of the new condos at Liberty Two have filed a federal lawsuit against Unisys in an attempt to block the sign. All of this should be settled in time for the tricentennial.
