Sixers Arena on Market East, Madame Fromage, Flags and Vexillology

The ongoing debate surrounding the 76ers arena on Market East has reached a boiling point, with multiple stakeholders now entering the fray. Alongside the Chinatown community and the Sixers themselves, Comcast Spectator, the owner of the Wells Fargo Center, is making every effort to persuade the team to remain in South Philly. We talk with Plan Philly reporter Aaron Moselle about the recent developments.
