Leithgow Street is a one way street so narrow, it is an alley where neighboring properties have been hit with graffiti.
This looks like a rather rough place with an unwelcoming atmosphere.
Sandwiched between the Columbia station (before it was renamed Cecil B Moore) of the Broad Street Line to the west and the Berks station of the Market-Frankford Line to the east.
SEPTA bus route 3 serves along Berks Street.
If one builder can manage to “hide the utility meters,” can’t we make all builders do that? The meters are so ugly and degrade any building.
Agree Susan.
they’re not. 90% of completed projects dont end up looking like the blueprints in Philly, and everyone gets away with it. Sorry, the meter will be in the front. Watch!
