Boy, don’t the kids moving into Temple Towers and gaining roommates next semester hope so?

According to a recent post on Philly.com’s “PHILLYDEAL$” blog, the Philadelphia City Planning Commission met recently to discuss, among other things, the possible building of Temple housing in the old Wanamaker High School building at 11th Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue by a company called Brighter Hope LLC. It’s just across the street from the famous “$5 lot,” on Cecil B. Moore, and if it happens, the building could house a reported 2,000 students.

According to Temple’s Office of News Communications, the housing will not be built by Temple, but will be marketed specifically to students by the developer.
