A grassroots group of neighborhood residents opposed having any gambling in their midst, and Philadelphia’s Zoning Board of Adjustment voted June 9 to reject the Parx request for special zoning approval to relocate there. Parx currently operates just the South Philadelphia Race & Sportsbook, which it has been rebuffed in relocating to within another Chickie’s & Pete’s, on Packer Avenue in South Philadelphia.

If that occurs, it will restore Parx to two OTB/sportsbook locations, as the Oaks site was closed permanently in the wake of COVID-related shutdowns across the gaming industry a year ago. Parx still must obtain approval from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board before it can commence the sportsbook operations. Parx obtained Pennsylvania Horse Racing Commission approval Tuesday afternoon to relocate its closed Oaks Race & Sportsbook OTB operation in Montgomery County to the planned sports bar site at The Grove Shopping Center in East Whiteland. Baldissero says both companies were responsible for ensuring the floors were cleared from potential hazards that could injure passersby.īaldissero is represented by Steven Lipschutz of Lipschutz & Friedman.Sports and race bets via Parx Casino could be coming by year’s end to a Chickie’s & Pete’s location under construction in Chester County. The plaintiff seeks damages not to exceed $50,000 from Chickie's and Pete's and Parx Casino. She also claims the injury has prevented her from enjoying the everyday pleasures of life. The incident allegedly forced Baldissero to incur ongoing medical expenses while having more difficulty performing her normal occupational duties, thus harming her earning power. She also experienced aggravation of pre-existing injuries, anxiety and post-traumatic syndrome, according to the claim. As a result, she suffered severe injuries to her body and limbs, including her back, discs and muscles. The complaint says that Peggy Baldissero, of Williamstown, N.J, entered the premises on July 2, 2012, when she slipped on an obstruction and fell to the ground. A woman visiting the Chickie's and Pete's restaurant located inside Parx Casino inīensalem has sued both the restaurant and casino for failing to maintain a safe environment for customers, according to papers filed with the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.
