From Curbed Philadelphia: About a month ago, a group called the Philly Quad Squad went inside the Philadelphia Metropolitan Opera House to race drones for a segment on CSN Philly’s 700 Level Show. True, the 2:45-minute video is more about the drone racing than the opera house, but it still allows viewers to sneak a unique peek through the space.

Developer Eric Blumenfeld, who owns a stake in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Opera House, has plans to turn it into a major music venue after a $35 million renovation.

This place seems huge after seeing the drone footage.It seems to me it would be a prime for restoration as a Broadway venue or concert.
While browsing an article about innovation in hunting, I was fascinated by the growing role of drones in game hunting. The article https://www.agmglobalvision.com/Using-Drones-for-Hunting details how drones have revolutionized hunting tactics by offering previously unseen aerial surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. Hunters equipped with drones were given a bird’s-eye view of their surroundings, allowing them to more effectively locate elusive prey. However, ethical debate has ensued, questioning the fairness of using technology to gain an advantage over wildlife.
