There is a four-story Welcome to Penn's Landing sign here that was supposed to have been a base for a tram that crossed the river into Camden, NJ, a part of a big entertainment complex that never was built. See Inga Saffron's column in the Philadelphia Inquirer, 6/28/15, at p. H 19, where she calls it the Waterfront's Stonehenge. This Web page calls it the Penn's Landing Pi, as it resembles the mathematical symbol, and has a nice photo of it: http://phillyskyline.com/summerofthedelaware/05.htm.

Comments : "Demolition continues on the never-used tower on Penn's Landing. Known as 'Philly's Stonehenge,' or 'The Colossal Pi,' the concrete structure was built in 2002 for the Skylink Aerial Tramway. The lpan was to transport 3,000 people an hour between entertainment centers on both sides of the Delaware River."
