The Number 28 Spot on Philly YIMBY’s First Anniversary Countdown Goes to Washington Square West

8:00 am on August 22, 2021 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

Philadelphia YIMBY’s ongoing countdown, which looks at the 31 most frequently listed article categories over the course of the past year in honor of our first anniversary, finds Washington Square West in the 28th place, with at least 29 publications mentioning the neighborhood in its tags.
