Mother nature is so fucking cool. The Delaware straight up swallowed that. No wonder the mob hid so many bodies in there.
Here’s before and after photos thanks to Google Earth:
Graffiti Pier from the air ; water must be soo Deep there is no trace of the 2 to 3 story metal structure ; pier goers told me there was a crack along the retaining wall for a few weeks 🎥 @RobertJCassell pic.twitter.com/UTePftPCaz

RIP to a portion of the pier. There will be a candlelight vigil at the Nifty Fifty’s in the Fishtown Crossing at 7pm tonight. Check on your neighborhood Instagram model too. They’re probably taking the news the hardest. Now they’ll have to find another edgy location to take photos in front of. Glass half full approach is now maybe they’ll carry out the plans in place to preserve the pier, fortify it, and turn it into a park. Everybody wins. I know just the company:
