You are right indeed 

[backtoharmony]

@ringgold2951 OK we are both on the same page. I can see your the real deal. Not a Johnny come lately, as many on-line Philly types are these days. You were born and raised in the Philly street's like me, I see. Philly's in our blood, weather we like it or not, right?

You are thinking of Marshall Street between Girard & Popular Streets. Everything you ever need was sold on Marshall Street. We Walked "everywhere"!

@ringgold2951 Dam, your good. You even cought me in an error, one who lived in a home that I could actually visualize Marshall Street. Hold it, no I beliebe I'm am correct on the location of Marshall st. It's betwen 6th & 7th, not Popular & Girard. Now that I do know to be true. But I must say, you are dam good my friend.

Yes, I went to Ludow Elem. school. Attend St. Pete's church and lived on 1400 block of Frankin then to 7th & Thompson. Churches were left open 24-7 back then. I would go down the basment at St. Pete's and knee there for Hrs. Looking at John Bishope Neuman. Astor & Girard Movies were great too. Wonderful childhood memories (:

@ringgold2951 Wow, you actually lived on Frankin Street. Between Girard and Popular? No couldn't have been on that block, right? That was the old Jewisk market place back then, am I correct or what? But you have your memories of the bottom church down pat. Hell, your the real deal, like me. My Aunt was a nun, who started the St. Benadict's Thrift store rigth across the street from St. Pete's Church. It's still there.

[ringgold2951]

You bet-cha (:

[backtoharmony]

@ringgold2951 Yep, that's it, and remember the bottom church and the glass coffen under the alter, where you can see the body of Saint John Neuman. Crazy stuff. But I like it, I grew up a half a block from Girard and 5th on Randolph Street, between 5th & 6th Street's. Know the spot? Yes, it's got a great vib in that neighborhood, u can feel the gost of the past.

I noticed Saint Peter's Church at 5th & Girard. I know it so well. Thank you for sharing this video. Many memories from my childhood in the 50s of my old home town.
