Now the Billy Penn curse... that sounds pretty legit and interesting. However, you say the building went up in 1984 "a year after the last championship in Philly." Was this the Sixers or the Flyers? Because you said the Eagles and Phillies haven't won jack since 1980.
Move is a very weird group. But they aren't the only ones to blame for the fire. The city total mishandled the situation. They should not have let Move fortify their house into bunker. They should stoped them long before that. They should not have droped the bomb. That was asking for trouble. And they should have let the fire department put the fire out as soon as it became obvious that the move members inside the burning house were incapable of firing apon them. Instead, they let it get out of control. It cost the city dearly. They had to rebuild all of the homes. Whats worse, they tried to do it on the cheap ,and the houses had all sorts problems(electrical, heating, plumbing, cracking plaster, leaking roofs, etc...) resulting in lawsuits adding onto the ones created from the fire itself. And, I think some of the houses had to be rebuilt again. The really stupid thing is that the city voters releected Major Goode!!
