Rhythm & Blues Foundation Relocating from NYC to Philadelphia

When they get situated, the Foundation plans to begin raising money to construct an R&B Hall of Fame that will become the centerpiece of a marketing program to brand Philadelphia as the home of R&B; expected impacts from the Hall of Fame include a re-energized music scene and a new entertainment district. Governor Rendell and Mayor Street have pledged financial support to help the foundation relocate to Philadelphia (see story).

does anyone else feel like Kenny Gamble is a shukster? I know you want to keep this positive, but I just don't trust the guy - next he's gonna try and sell us on a monorail....

I'm not sure about Gamble - what's he done/not done that makes you think he's a bit of a snake oil salesman?

he hasn't done anything he's promised in south philly - we're all still waiting for these huge housing developments he's promised...

Maybe he's the "idea man" - we'll just have to wait until the right "implementation man" comes along.
