Produktbeschreibung

Philadelphia: South of Market and East of Broad offers a whirlwind journey to the older regions of the city. Along the way, readers will travel the length of South Broad Street from city hall toward the Naval Yard and the former sports complex and will wander by Market Street,s former bustling shops,such as Gimbel,s, Wanamaker,s, and Leary,s quaint bookstore,to the street,s terminus at the Delaware River port and the Camden ferries. They will become reacquainted with Independence Square, Washington Square, and the magnificent buildings that once surrounded them and will also revisit South Philadelphia and its Italian Market. These images grant an opportunity to explore Philadelphia,s streets, peer into its historic nooks, and seek out buildings that have long since gone the way of the wrecking ball.

Autorenporträt

Gus Spector, a member of the Phoenixville Historical Society and the Pennsylvania Historical Society, has been collecting postcards of Philadelphia for over 35 years. His keen interests lie not only in the aspect of amassing a large number of cards but also in piecing together the jigsaw puzzle of the life and times of the city. Born in South Philadelphia, where he attended public schools and then Temple University, he now lives in a suburb of Philadelphia.
