What kind of neighborhood is Spring Garden?
The last time I had reason to be in the area ( about 10 years ago) Spring Garden was a gentrified neighborhood on the absolute edge of one of the worst black ghettos in the world. ( Yeah! I mean that seriously.)
At the intersection of Broad St. and Spring Garden is the Hahnemann Hospital medical school and university ( lots of white middle class students and workers). A Catholic high school sat on the NE corner. I read that the Mormon Church opened a new temple at this intersection. There are several large museums, the Philadelphia library, and the magnificent Philadelphia Art Museum just a short walk away down Spring Garden.
