We were in the neighborhood the other day (grabbing a tasty to-go beverage from Burg's Hideaway, if you must know) and a Demolition Notice caught our eye on the 2100 block of Ellsworth. The sign was posted on the home at 2128 Ellsworth St., but we naturally assumed that it actually

We were looking at some aerial images of West Philly last week, which is of course a very common activity that normal people do all the time. Right? Hey, stop looking at us like that.As we were saying, we were looking at some aerial images and something caught our eye near
