Breaking: Foxwoods Considering New Location

Philly.com is breaking news that, following a meeting between representatives of Foxwoods and Mayor Nutter and Governor Rendell, Foxwoods is considering looking at a different location to set up shop if and when they finally get around to building their casino in Philadelphia. It has to be emphasized that Foxwoods is considering an alternative location to their proposed site in South Philadelphia/Pennsport. This is by no means a definite, but it is the first sign of budging that either of the casino developers, Foxwoods and SugarHouse, have given in this whole big casino mess.

No word on where the considered locations are, other than that they're "inside the city limits, not on the riverfront and not within 10 miles of casinos already open in Bensalem and Chester." That bubble could, theoretically, put them right on the cusp of Philadelphia International Airport, which Google maps tells us is 10 miles from the Harrah's Chester casino.
