  1. Hi. I saw this article about a possible snow front coming in this Friday and ran across a picture taken in 1887 of Shotwell between 22nd and 23rd Street. http://tinyurl.com/4rrezax

    I love what you are doing here. Keep up the amazing work!

  3. My family and I grew up in that very shop on 3049 22nd St. and lived in 803 Shotwell St. My Mother ran a small clothing alterations shop there from 1976 till about 2004 until she had to close it because she was diagnosed Cancer, God bless her soul. I have fond memories of that place even though the Old Owner was a jerk and a slimy slumlord. The house was dilapidated and in need of repair back then. I'm happy to see that it looks much better now.
