If you want to spend/waste an hour or two tracing the early history of our neighborhood through some old maps, go to _http://www.historicmapworks.com/Search/Address/MapMyHome.php_ (http://www.historicmapworks.com/Search/Address/MapMyHome.php) . Plug in your address and you'll get to a page with a bunch of dated maps that include it. Then click on the individual maps. Use the "+" on the bottom or just click on the map to do a zoom. And move around in the usual way. The resolution is very good on the zoomed maps. And, in case you're interested in why I always act "holier than thou," check out the southeast corner of 44th & Spruce on any date before about 1910. My house is on property once occupied by the Carmelite Convent of Philadelphia. It must still be percolating up from the ground. So... pax vobiscum. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
