What a great page. Your pictures have taken me back to my days as a young kid growing up in Fox Chase during the 40-s & 50's Amazing – Thanks.
I’d just like to thank you for such an informative website. I accidentally came across it, and I grew up in West Philly and moved there February, 1942. It's much different than when I was a kid. I grew up in the 100 block north 55th Street. I will be ordering photos.
I’d like to start off by saying the site is an absolute winner… I spend hours at a time just viewing neighborhoods and love the additions and upgrades.
