The Gun Range (formerly Colosimo’s Target Range) is Philadelphia’s oldest and latest indoor shooting range and premiere teaching facility!
Description

As part of the original Colosimo’s gun business that was founded in 1919 by Dominick Colosimo who returned from Europe where is served in The Great War as an infantry man; The Gun Range is the 21st century’s manifestation of the almost one hundred year old business. The range has been thoroughly re-furbished from the ground up, and offers 13 safe, well lit and ventilated shooting lanes that can accommodate rifle, shotgun and pistol in semiautomatic to fully automatic configuration.

Safety, professionalism, and a sense of community is paramount at The Gun Range! We are staffed by firearms professionals holding NRA Certifications which are backed by decades of hands on experience using all types of firearms.

The Divine Lorraine Hotel was more stunning than I anticipated. Father Divine opened the establishment only four years after Fauset published his research on the religious leader. From 1948-1999 Father Divine’s Universal Peace Mission Movement operated the first fully racially integrated hotel in the country. Lodgers had to adhere to strict regulations, which included modest dress and separation of the sexes. An internal speaker system was installed so Father Divine (aka George Baker or Reverend Major Jealous Divine) could broadcast praise and prayer throughout the day. The tenth floor of the hotel was converted into a worship hall. The bottom floor housed a cafeteria where members of the community could eat meals for 25cents. The 10-story building, now covered in tags, offers a glimpse of the grandeur of the once thriving religious movement.

Between the beautiful weather, the Backyard Barbecue at The Trestle Inn (featuring sidewalk burlesque by Bella Tricks), and the “Sweet Lovin’” Proposition Tent sponsored by Fringe Arts, Philadelphia’s post-industrial “Eraserhood” neighborhood was filled with light, love, and beauty this lovely July First Friday.
