Elfreth's Alley, Philadelphia, PA

During a recent trip to Philadelphia, PA,

I was lucky enough to be with a local,

who happens to be one of my very best friends.

She thought Elfreth's Alley would be

right up my...well, alley!

She was right.

(She always is!)

"Elfreth's Alley — popularly known as "Our nation’s oldest residential street" –

dates back to the first days of the eighteenth century."

"Since 1702, Elfreth's Alley has been home to more than 3,000 people.

Today thirty-two houses, built between 1728 and 1836, line the alley."

"They form one of the last intact early American streetscapes in the nation.

Elfreth's Alley is a National Historic Landmark District,

one of the first districts that celebrates the lives of everyday Americans."

Definitely worth a visit!
