Well it seems that the Philly area will get two casino's that will be about two miles apart along the delaware river. The Mashantuckets casino will be south of center city in the Nicetown neighborhood and the sugarhouse's proposed casion will be built to the north at the site of an old sugarplant in the fishtown neighborhood. I don't know HOW that deals with the lagoon when it's NOWHERE near these sites. The third casino/gambeling location is at a racetrack. So how can this Lagoon rumor be true?

It's probably an extension of this:

It was the back door way for Philadelphia to get 3 casinos - really 4 if you include Philadelphia Park.
