Billie Holiday was born here. Wilt Chamberlain fucked here ran the show at the YMCA in the 50s. Kenny Gamble owns a lot of properties here but hasn’t done much by way of development, sadly. (We all love the mural on the Royal Theatre, but come on — that place needs to be open.) Ron’s Ribs and Jamaican Jerk Hut are legendary. Bob & Barbara’s is an institution. Tritone, Ten Stone, Grace and the Sidecar (in that order) [all] share its customers. Ants Pants, Jouvay Java and LaVa serve the morning after. Pumpkin is the best BYOB in the city. The ‘Sixth Sense house’ is over 23rd & St Albans way. Holler at ?uestlove while you’re here . . .
South Street to Washington Avenue, Broad Street to the Schuylkill. We, ladies and gentlemen, are G-Ho.
