Fun With Temple Archives: If You Ever Catch Us Lost In Reverie, We’re Probably Right Here


Customers in the ‘Record Joint’ in Progress Plaza. Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. March 14th, 1975.

We know we’ve mentioned this before, but you should totally follow Urban Archives (Paley Library, Temple University) on Facebook. They just dropped their “Friday Photos” album, and the above pic was in it, along with other photos that reminded us in a nick of time that Philadelphia has been awesome since forever, and probably won’t stop, no matter how many ‘roid-rage jarheads roam Old City or how many dilhole casinos open up around here. This is Philadelphia. See what people who believe in the power of each other can do. For one, we can buy records and look awesome. Who knew?
