You weren't in center city until you went under ground at Spring Garden which was Fairmount station. Pre-95 which took out alot of ground from her cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends.

The El went so close to The Immaculate Conception Church the priest would have to stop talking until the El passed.

She went to Hallahan, and came up at 15th, and then took the 25 trolley car. That took a half hour, and five minutes to get to school.

For everybody including mom, grandmom, aunts, uncles to get to work at Smith-Kline it took about a half hour.

My greatgrandmom was born in that house, and she never lived in Center City. They actually were NOLIBS as Fishtown started at Frankford&Girard, and was a block away by that fancy, pantsy restaurant bar my brother hangs in she says. She mean Johnny Brenda's. LOL

So there. Too funny. Oh, and that McDonald's was the Shackamaxon Boys Club, and before that it was a school my grandmom who is 85 years old attended.

*****Plus when the nun Sister Paracleet who taugh them in Immaculate Conception School which is no longer standing at Front&Allen Sister sent them in taxis to do errands, and sent them to CENTER CITY. So Sister Paracleet was never wrong.***** If my dad was living and he was from Crease, and Thompson. He'd tell you he didn't live in center city either.*****

Doctor Scott Kapegeant lived, and had an office on Shackamaxon Street she tells me to tell you, and Harmer Hall which bosted a bowling alley, and wedding facility on the second floor, and it was NOT in center city.

I love it when the old ladies get burned up. Hahahaha.
