Duly noted, (for about the 700th time).

If the location's not East Falls, what is it? It's 19129 and across from Laurel Hill Cemetery, which is East Falls. To quote myself:

The Market is in East Falls. We've discussed the boundaries at length in some other threads which I will try to pull up later this week. Suffice it to say, East Falls extends over to Hunting Park Avenue. So the realtors are probably not pulling your leg, even if it's not what's commonly thought of as "East Falls". The following is all to the east of Roosevelt Expressway but is East Falls: East Falls Fitness on Ridge , Pep Boys (and Pep Boys provided founding $ for & still funds "its neighbor" East Falls Development Corporation), Philly Inquirer and Friends of Laurel Hill Cemetary have described Laurel Hill Cemetery as being East Falls, Abbostford Homes across from the Budd Site, East Falls Psychiatric Institute (now closed), etc.
Not that any of it matters, whatever you call it, it's very close to East Falls and convenient to you.

Don't know if this has been said yet in this thread, but I heard that it's going to open on or about March 1st.

As far as it being in East Falls, it's right next door to East Falls Fitness.

19129 is East Falls. The Market's zip is 19132, same as Pep Boy's. What does it matter? It depends on who you ask. If you told me there was a business using the name East Falls I'd expect it to be in East Falls.

Most of School House Lane and Penn Charter, for ex, don't have 19129 zip codes either, vestige from when that was Germantown and there was no East Falls, just Falls of Schuylkill at the bottom of the hill, and nobody's saying Penn Charter is in Germantown. I guess there's some flex in the neighborhood boundaries over time.

Carol Campbell just introduced a bill to re-name the East Falls Market the Edgar Campbell Market and has been delaying its opening until the bill passes.
