One advantage to a city like Philadelphia is its long history. Most people tend to view this in terms of culture, and this old city has a rich history. The same applies to the architecture as changes in style and technology create many different unique neighborhoods. This is especially true of the Overbrook Farms area. Settled by mostly Welsh immigrants, this area has been developing its charm since 1892. If one is thinking to buy a home in Philadelphia, then this area is certainly one you must look at. Nationally Historic:  The Overbrook Farms neighborhood was designated as a National Historic District in the 80’s. These homes were some of the first designed by University of Pennsylvania's architectural program. Thus homes in this area are not only nationally recognized, they are the ...

It's crazy how everything happens for a reason and how the hearts of people work are even crazier and a blessing too. I was happy to be a part of the blessing I am about to share. A couple of Sunday's ago, I had to head to go to the store. The normal corner store I go to didn't have what I needed so I went to another one that I had never been to.
