Building the Future, Preserving the Past

A lot can happen in 50 years. Five decades ago, South Street West in Philadelphia, PA, was a vibrant corridor for business and nightlife, offering the best in goods, services and entertainment. A decade ago, business presence on South Street West had dwindled, with the exception of a few dedicated business owners whose shops had been located here for years.

A lot can happen in 50 years -- including the rebirth of a neighborhood. The SOUTH STREET WEST BUSINESS ASSOCIATION (SSWBA), an organization of long-standing and new merchants and professionals, has been working to make our commercial corridor the thriving area it promises to once again become.
