This is Quince St.
Philadelphians pay a lot for this charm-- split box springs, tiny dollhouse-sized furniture, no sprawling private lawns with playsets, container gardens-- but the rewards are worth it. Plus, you can always knock down walls in your brownstone to get a modern, open floor plan feel, and the city's children play at the pretty well-maintained public playgrounds and parks (more on that later).
So, I love Philadelphia thanks to old brick streets, narrow brownstones, and an undying respect for history and charm.
Right in the heart of Center City East stands this quaint brick-paved street. No cars, no storefronts, but lots of charm. And there are many more like it.
In the era of tear-down-the-old for bigger and better, Philadelphia kindly refuses. Yes, modern brownstone condos are occasionally squeezed in the narrow city streets, but history wins the battle in Philly.

I see a for sale sign. Would anyone like to buy me a house?
