Save Sigma Sound! The Battle Continues |
Save Sigma Sound! The Battle Continues
A delay in adding the building housing Sigma Sound Studios, located at 200 N. Broad St, to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places was granted to the building’s owner, Nino Tinari. Sigma Sound was the home of Philadelphia International Records which created the “Sound of Philadelphia” as produced by legends Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff and Thom Bell in the 1970’s. Tinari wants to build condominiums on the site. An effort is being made to keep the building intact by designating it a Historic Place. http://bit.ly/2EyWHhg

Center City’s Last 24-hour Diner Closes The Midtown III diner – Center City’s only 24-hour diner has closed for good. Located at 18th and Ranstead Sts., it fell victim to the pandemic and the resultant lack of foot traffic from Center City offices and late-night crowds. The Midtown III had served Philadelphians round-the-clock for 35 years. (http://bit.ly/3ll8JLX) |

Only 5 weeks left to complete the 2020 Census
|
Census Facts:
- Did you know, completing the 2020 Census takes just 10 minutes, and will have an impact on the city for the next 10 years?
- If just one person is missed in the 2020 Census count, Philadelphia could face the loss of $21,000 in federal funding over the next ten years. If an undercount happens, the city’s capacity to meet the needs of its residents will be seriously impacted.
Take action to improve your community and complete the Census!
