Support CNA: Become a Dues Paying Member is 2014!

Dear Friend of Callowhill Neighborhood Association,

Greetings and Happy New Year!
As a regular recipient of information and announcements from Callowhill Neighborhood Assoc., we consider your interest in our organization vital to our ongoing efforts at making Callowhill an exciting and desirable place to live and work. As you are probably aware, our neighborhood has undergone tremendous changes within just the last few years and more are on the way.
Which is our reason for contacting you now. For 2014, would you consider becoming a full, dues-paying member of CNA by officially joining our organization? Several levels of membership are available, all quite reasonable:
  • For those who live within our boundaries, a 1-yr. Individual Membership is $25
  • For those outside our boundaries, a 1-yr. Associate Membership is $15
  • For businesses, a 1-yr. Corporate Membership is $50
Increasing the number of members gives CNA more credibility in our contacts with other neighborhood groups, city officials and real estate developers, as well as additional revenue to pursue community initiatives. And for now, dues paying members remain the main source of revenue for CNA.
For your convenience, we now offer the option of paying via PayPal through the CNA website (www.callowhill.org). This will make paying your 2014 membership dues fast, easy and give us all the information we need to keep your membership data and contact information up-to-date.
If you feel more comfortable paying by check, you can do that too. Please mail your payment to:
Callowhill Neighborhood Association
1115 Hamilton St.
Philadelphia, PA 19123
Be sure to indicate in the memo line the type of membership you’d like and reference “2014 dues.”
We hope you’ll consider taking this next step in committing yourself, at least in spirit, to this incredible, up-and-coming neighborhood. And our best wishes for a happy and healthy new year!
Sincerely,
Sarah McEneaney – President
Dennis Pilsits – Treasurer

Walking the Eraserhood: Broad Street and Ridge Avenue

[fsg_gallery id=”24″]

Via Flickr:
“Walking the Eraserhood” represents an ongoing street-level exploration of the Callowhill district and surrounding environs, a sort of virtual walking tour of the neighborhood.

This corner represents the northernmost stretch of the Eraserhood. (While not technically part of the Callowhill Neighborhood, the wedge defined by Ridge Avenue, Broad Street, and Spring Garden Street, is considered part of the area covered by the Eraserhood blog.) Northeast is the striking, long abandoned Divine Lorraine Hotel, once a commercial hotel, then a church residence, finally an empty hulk. Many owners have attempted to restore this beautiful monster to former glory. As of this writing, none have succeeded. To the northwest, the former Northwestern National Bank/Broad Street Trust Company dominates the corner. Currently the site houses People Community Credit Union and a PNC Bank branch.
