Marian Anderson: A Portrait in Music

Gospel, Opera, anything by Marian Anderson

I am a cozy Philadelphia neighborhood nestled between South St. and Washington Ave, west of Broad and east of Grays Ferry, the birthplace of the legendary contralto Marian Anderson. I don't like it when people call me Graduate Hospital Area or S.O.S. (South of South st). These names are impersonal to me and have nothing to do with my true identity. If you're in the city, some Sunday, come check me. Sundays are my favorite. But everyday is a good day when you're in the Yards! To learn more about Marian Anderson check out www.mariananderson.org.

Anyone interested in respecting and cultivating a good philly neighborhood atmosphere. If that's you, I invite you to live in me or even just visit me! Help me spread the neighborly love in the heart of the city of brotherly love!
