The neighborhood from Broad Street to the Schuylkill River, South Street to Washington Avenue is rich in history, architectural landmarks and charming nineteenth-century rowhouses. A transitional area between Center City and South Philadelphia, it is home to several community service organizations, many churches, retail establishments and light industry. This site and its associated mailing list (established August 13, 2003) seek to provide a place where current and future residents can learn about events and issues, and to help provide a community voice to shape the direction of the neighborhood in years to come.
