@bigredchevytruck What about Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Philadelphia Museum of Art, 30th Street Station to name a few. Philadelphia is not a dump. Granted some areas have seen better days, but it is still a great city.

Con'd., nothing was and IS without Sacrifice. This Bvilding Is truely a Monument from every expression. Even here in the worbbly recording and flashes of dream-like exposure I say to myself, Wow! What really happened here? And!!!! It's still here! That is what this lousy little Youtube vedeo reveles. "the stone the bvilders rejected has become the Corner Stone". Thank You JW for your vission.

Con'd. Very oddly and rarafied is this Petridish of collisions seen for very long. In this case, liken to atoms splitting into an Atomic bomb. Let's list all the variables of inposibility: a brick makers son, too a brick maker; visically unsuitable to enter the Armed Forces to fight the CivilWar(Thank God); failure after failure to establish a lasting Brand; one pit after another even up to 1907 a small eesession to unsettle the timeliness of progress on the Burnum structure.....

I think that whoever created this snippit, this 'view' is dream-like in it's baring witness to all one man (John Wanamaker) materialized of his veiw, his vission. If we know all the times he failed at his attemps to create his Brand. This alone took many trials of failure before the depot and then the Big Store was to happen. This Music invokes a crescendo of Hope. A note of resolvement of tenacity......

how unfortunate that this piece of audio video footage is of such dreadful qualty. If you really want to hear true justice to this magnificent Sam Wanamaker Pipe Organ, have a listen and look at the flash mob gathered for Christmas, singing The Hallelujah Chorous, and that marvellous organ being played so beautifully !

@julorg You are correct :)! And it is a lovely piece to play I might add!

Shopping in that store while listening to the Wannamaker Organ being played was one of the biggest thrills of my life,and a trip that my husband and I planned for months! The Mighty Wannammaker should be preserved forever! This nation doesn't know how to appreciate true class anymore. Sad. KathyK

I'd go there just to see/hear this

@ds1868 department store not shopping mall

Actually the Wannamaker organ. Part of the culture and cultured operation of
one of the old grand department stores John Wannamakers. Every thing was
top drawer with a tea room on the top floor that served food on fine china
and linen table cloths. Like Rome the barbarians(may co.) sacked them.

The Corona trumpet is really amazing but the Ophicleide in Midmer-Losh organ in Atlantic City Broadwalk Hall is even much louder.

First : the organ attracts shoppers.
Second : you'll (sadly) never hear the full organ on shopping hours.
