TIPS ON DRIVING IN SOUTH PHILLY
The grid system of streets makes it
pretty easy to navigate in this area of town.
South Philly is generally considered
to be the area between South St. and the
Naval Base, and between the
Delaware River and the Schuylkill River.
From the Delaware River, the major
northbound and southbound through streets are numbered, beginning from
Front St., then
2nd, 3rd,
4th, etc. One notable exception includes
Broad St., instead of what would logically
be named 14th St.; it is the city's
major North/South thoroughfare.
Homes and businesses on eastbound and westbound streets are numbered in
sequential groups of 100, starting at Front St.
Therefore, between Front and 2nd Sts.,
all addresses are between 100 and 199; between 12th
and 13th Sts., all addresses are between 1200 and 1299.
Similarly, all homes and businesses on northbound and southbound streets
are numbered in sequential groups of 100, starting at
Market St. A good directional marker to
look for is Billy Penn atop City Hall,
conspicuously located in a center square at Broad
and Market Sts. Most tall buildings in the city are located in
this area, generally referred to as Center City,
north of South St. and bounded between
the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers.
Market St. is the division between
streets whose names are followed by North and South
designations. Our address, for example, is designated as 1006 South
9th St. because we are South of Market St.
A block is considered to be
the space between two through streets, so called because they travel in
straight distances without interruption. A block can include a number
of smaller
side streets; these may allow you to travel only one or a few blocks
at a time without homes blocking thoroughfare. A block is usually a bit
less than 1/10 of a mile; which makes it easy to know that we, at 1006 S.
9th St., are about 10 blocks, or 1 mile, from Market St.
