They're talking about a major development on the Chester waterfront.
Again.
It was exactly a decade ago when this idea was first floated. There was going to be a stadium, hundreds of townhouses, retail shops, a hotel and even a convention center.
Ten years later the stadium - home of Major League Soccer's Philadelphia Union (yes, their name is Philadelphia, even though they play their games in Chester - there. But not much else.
Ten years ago the timing could not have been worse.
The economy went off a cliff, and most of the $500 million project was put on hold.
Now another idea is being floated.
The Chester waterfront is a gem that is only now starting to get its due.
It took 10 years.
We hope this time it's for real.
