Listen: Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About The Current State Of Old City But Forgot To Ask
It’s been a rough few years for Center City residents and businesses alike, but for as much struggle as there has been, Old City is showing some very real signs of life. On this week’s episode of Philly Built, Vern Anastasio interviews Job Itzkowitz. Job has been the executive director of the Old City DIstrict since 2014, and in this interview, the pair cover a lot of ground: The neighborhood’s history, how it got stalled after briefly becoming a twin-pronged NIMBY/nuisance-bar magnet, and where it’s headed now.
Full disclosure: Philly Built is produced by Doin’ Great, Philebrity’s content and communications studio for hire.
