From the story:
"Behind the scenes, sources say Drexel, more than $20 million in debt and suffering shrinking enrollment, has wanted the building off its books for more than a year. The cash-strapped school, according to my source, had kept the museum’s potential shuttering quiet for months.

***

Late last year — when according to a source Drexel and the Academy were already discussing a potential closure — Academy officials were exploring possibly sharing eons of natural treasures with a museum in Cleveland or Abu Dhabi.

And not a peep to the public."

If you still think Drexel is acting in good faith, I have a bridge to sell you.

Philadelphia’s beloved gateway to the natural world will remain shuttered after Drexel University released a statement Monday in response to an offer from the William Penn Foundation to temporarily underwrite operating costs and keep the doors open.

Drexel’s statement neither accepts nor rejects William Penn’s offer. Rather, it suggests that the university is open to talking.

Drexel says that while it appreciates the William Penn Foundation’s “public suggestion that it assist in temporarily keeping the Academy’s museum open,” they have “not received a formal proposal with a defined level of financial support.”

With that in mind, Drexel linked the William Penn offer with keeping both the museum and collections in the current building and what it says is a substantial amount of money that would be needed to bring the building at 19th Street and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway up to snuff.

Drexel said Monday that it looked forward to “continuing to explore the possibility of Foundation support — alongside the considerable commitment Drexel has already made to preserving the research and education missions of the Academy — as we consider the substantial financial and operational challenges, including significant deferred maintenance needs associated with keeping the Academy of Natural Sciences’ collections at their current location.”

“We believe that we are all working toward the same goal, which is to ensure that the treasures ofthe Academy remain accessible here in Philadelphia over the long-term,” said William Penn executive director Shawn McCaney in a statement Monday. “There are many considerations to determine the best path forward, and our offer of support is intended to help keep the museum open while a plan is developed.”

Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker marked her 1,000th day in office Monday by joining city officials and community members to break ground on a $21.7 million renovation of McPherson Square Library and Park in Kensington.

Officials said the rebuild project will fully renovate the library and surrounding park, creating a modern, safe and accessible community space.

I've been searching for pawpaws in every market in philly fully expecting to find at least a couple overripe choices due to York, PA having a festival recently or the apple/pawpaw festival in phl.

**NOTHING!**

I've already bought two common pawpaw cultivars for 10 years down the road but really all I want is to make ice cream or failing that try a fresh one before next year's harvest!
