On Monday, Dennis Brack and I slogged up 95 to Philadelphia to shoot the cover for the Fall issue of Development magazine. I was expecting a fun ride filled with Dennis's war stories (he is president this year of the White House News Photographer's Association), and at our destination, the Comcast Center, a spectacular skyscraper developed by Liberty Property Trust in Center City Philly. I knew we would find a gorgeous building -- what I wasn't expecting was the HDTV video wall that filled the lobby, and cast a spell on scores of passersby, drawing them into the three-story atrium, where they stood transfixed by the images, music, movement, surprises, that delighted and amazed them -- and me. Everyone's reaction was exactly the same -- the show stopped you in your tracks and your mouth fell open in silent wonder. Then you smiled. And kept smiling for as long as you watched.
This video from Channel 3 in Philly will give you some idea of what we saw. It's worth a trip to Philadelphia just to see it! For some reason, this is the link posted by Channel 3, but it doesn't go to the correct broadcast. Click on it anyway, then just put Comcast Center into the Search box and it will pull up a link to the right video!
