Whitman
WalkScore: 82 out of 100 – Very Walkable
The Deal:
2 and 3 story Philly row houses with small rear yards.
The Feel:
A true “South Philly” neighborhood filled with families and couples.
Whitman bounded on the west by Sixth Street, on the east by the Front Street, on the south by Bigler Street, and on the north by Snyder Avenue. It is just south of all of the commerce located in Pennsport, and is a bit more residential. It is known as the type of neighborhood where everyone takes the time to know their neighbors and watches out for them. In the summer many residents place their pull out chairs and sit in front of their homes to welcome passer-bys and catch up with neighbors.

Newest Ideas for Foxwoods Casino – SS United States?
The newest proposal for Foxwoods Casino is the possibility of centering the project around the SS United States on the Delaware River. The idea includes plans for a 10-story parking garage with gaming space on the first two floors. Renovating and refitting the vessel to have gaming on board would consist of a plan costing between $150 and $200 million.
“We can place the SS United States into the Foxwoods property in a way that showcases a national treasure and makes it a tourist draw” – Ken Smukler, advisor to the SS United States Conservancy. Mayor Nutter’s thought the idea to be “certainly one of the most unique, dynamic, and exciting plans for a casino anywhere in the United States of America.”
The ship has been out of service since 1969 and has been docked at pier 82 on the Delaware River near the Whitman Section between Oregon Ave and Jackson St. since 1996. The SS United States is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Plans for Delaware River Waterfront
The newest proposals for the vacant areas alongside the Delaware River were presented last week. The plan consists of a waterfront that would mostly contain mid-rise apartments and rowhouses. They expect this proposed housing to take 30-50 years to fill in the vacant land and they hope for the waterfront to eventually evolve into streets resembling Center City with a mix of uses and variety amongst buildings.
The planners are telling the city it should invest in some “high-impact” infrastructure projects in order to stimulate other private development projects. One such major project would be a landscaped deck sloping from Front Street down to the river between Walnut and Chestnut Streets. Another is a 5,000 seat open air venue. They are trying to persuade the city to ban entertainment from Penn’s Landing and Festival Pier in order to make their new sites more marketable.
Also in the plans are 10 parks at half-mile intervals along the river, each the size of Rittenhouse Square. The parks would eventually be linked together by a recreation trail along the edge of the river and a bike path on Delaware Ave.
For all of this to be possible it is essential for the city to be able to creatively raise money to jump-start these targeted improvements. Good Luck Philly!

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.
