The Passyunk Square Civic Association is having a house tour this weekend! The event takes places Saturday November 10th from noon to 5. (Don't worry, you can do the house tour and still check out Indy Hall movie night!)

Here is the event information:

A self-guided tour of homes throughout the Passyunk Square neighborhood, with free pizza (at Slice Pizza), coffee & desert (at Benna's), as well as an ‘End of Tour’ party at 1601 Wine Bar & Café.

All donations will go to the PSCA Trash Committee, to retain the services of manual street cleaners.

Want info? housetour[at]passyunk[dot]org

Tickets are a donation of $20 for 1 and $35 for 2. There are discounts for large groups. This is a great way to give back to the community and also check out houses in various states of construction and architectural design. Support Philadelphia neighborhoods... and remember, Passyunk Square is home to our good friends P'unk Avenue!

Please get in touch or comment if you are thinking of attending!

renovations

They are renovating the house across the street from me. I live on a very busy thoroughfare with a lot of amazing architecture. Some of the buildings are renovated, restored and well-maintained, while others are run-down, in a state of disrepair, or forced to wear the unflattering facade of cheap siding and awnings. I am happy to see new homeowners attempt to preserve the grandeur that once was, hopefully encouraging others to do the same. There's a lot of potential in Philly....
