The 30th anniversary of the MOVE conflagration is coming soon on May 13.

I've always found it rather ironic that on the very same day ground was broken for Liberty Place One.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. It's a long time ago now. So many people who were not even alive then know nothing about it and have never heard of it.

I hope not. It was a blot on the city because it was picked up on the national news.

MOVE's been peaceful, afaik, ever since. Also, afaik, the ones who are left live in a house on Kingsessing Ave near Clark Park in UC.

This was an excellent documentary for anyone that hasn't seen it.

Yes they have. I really never cared what they were doing as long as they weren't disturbing their neighbors. Unfortunately, they seemed to regularly bother the neighbors. I always heard that the bombing was the result of the earlier confrontation.

And now Baltimore (not all of it, but parts) ought to be firebombed, but that would only add to the chaos...

Oh, it was. The 1985 mess was the "continuation" of the 1978 mess.
