Default Christmas trees in SP?

Anyone got a favorite spot in SP they like to buy trees from? Locations are appreciated. Thanks!

I think three of the four corners @ 10th and McKean have them. I love seeing them there every year 'round this time. It's definitely the greenest I've ever seen that neighborhood!

That's where we got our tree. "Rocky" helped us pick out a good one. Gotta love S. Philly...

The tree wasn't cheap, but it's by far the nicest one we've ever had. There are some vendors on Washington in the Italian Market area as well.

I haven't seen if they're out there this year, but in the past few years, we've bought our tree at Broad & McKean on the island across from St. Agnes Hospital. We got some nice trees at $25.00 a pop each year. I"ll be checking to see if there there again for 2006 before heading elsewhere.

Thanks Doc. Looks like I'm going somewhere else for my tree this year.
