Looks nice.
Too bad there’s no parking anywhere (the street is too narrow).
The Market-Frankford Line is around the block on Front Street.
SEPTA trolley route 15 can be found a few blocks south on Girard Avenue, where you can find a local McDonald’s restaurant for fine dining.
So those aren’t garage openings currently boarded up?
That’s possible I suppose. 😉
The convenience of having the subway around the block is very nice! 👍🏼
