Grand Opening of "Sugar House" Casino in Philadelphia

[nwest013]

people need to stop saying this casino is a horrible thing. look at how many jobs it created and how many people that were out of jobs got back into the working world. those hippie uneducated losers need a hobby or something to do with their time instead of protesting. protesting doesnt work anymore. the casino is there to stay and theres not a damn thing they can do

parx casino, is starting to have problems. People are leaving their children in cars, and gambling. In a few years you will see problems from Sugarhouse. People never take public transportation, so right there you will have so much traffic it will be a joke. Crime, expect to see a jump in armed robberies. Basically criminals will walk around the casino, looking for the big winner. Pan handling, I have seen this in Bensalem. A guy usually walks up to a gas station. Needs gas money.

@talltom1973 I mean the jobs are good, but is it worth it?

@talltom1973 There's a law currently in the works that would make it a felony to leave a child under 13 in a car alone at a casino.

@scottiebobson they need to do something, because it happened 7 times this Summer. They had one guy, go in and cash in a ten dollar voucher. His plan was to just go in, and play for a minute. He ended up staying for an hour. While his son, who was maybe 2 sat in his car

another lady, who had a facebook page that said her children were her priority left her two kids with a dead cell phone alone for 3 hours. Finally the older daughter was able to borrow someones phone, and call her father.
