i can’t tell you how these pictutes and your store make me feel. its hard for me to imagine that all of this is taking place at 50th&baltimore…when i first moved to west philly, almost 7yrs ago, NOBODY ever went that far.hardly ever.unless you where going to a punk show across the street. i lived in a 3bedroom apartment with 10ft ceilings and hardwood floors and rats and a wooden fire escape for $550/mnth. Two years later, the rent went up to $990 and we moved northbound up baltimore ave…never straying from baltimore ave…we ended up at 47th&hazel…my first little baby was born there…. then of course, they upped the rent and we moved ever northbound…to S. 50th. UNHEARDOF. my second little baby was born and then due to unforeseen circumstances, a move. and now i’m in delaware, i miss west philly dearly, but my old roomate still is there and we still come up for the peoplehood parade and stuff like that.

i love west philly West Philly is the Best Philly, as we used to say. it makes me so happy to see how much life and art and creativity is still there.

I found this very interesting. These are my great aunts. I even have some of Jennie and Margarets hats in my closet. I visited them many times as a child.
