Girard Estate
Girard Estate, also known as Girard Estates, is part of South Philadelphia. It is named after Stephen Girard whose South Philadelphia property was developed in the 1920s by the City of Philadelphia. He was likely the richest man in the United States when he died in 1831, and he left most of his $6 million estate to the City of Philadelphia. In 1950, the city received permission to sell all 481 homes to private owners. All the homes were sold within two years. In 1979, Girard Estate became a location for "Rocky II." The crew filmed scenes on the 2300 block of S. Lambert Street for a week. In the film, the character Rocky Balboa bought 2313 S. Lambert St. with his winnings from the bout in the first film. (He even comments on the address, pointing out that the number "almost add up to nine!") All exteriors were shot on the street; house interiors were shot on a soundstage.

More People Moving Into Philly Than Out
According to a new report, since 1993 the rate of people moving into Philadelphia has steadily increased while the rate of people leaving has dwindled. This report was released on Wednesday by the Pew Charitable Trusts’ Philadelphia Research Initiative, based on IRS data.
The number of people moving into the city has steadily increased from 31,837 in 1993 to 52,096 in 2008. Population growth in Philadelphia is due to a greater number of births than deaths and an increase of immigrants and empty nesters moving from the suburbs to the city.
These trends point to a reversal of long-term decline in the city’s population. For six decades people generally fled Philadelphia for the surrounding suburbs.
