If I recall correctly, this was also the area of the Legionaires Disease outbreak way back when.

To: Seeking the truth
You're right. Legionnaires Disease broke out at the old Bellvue Stratford Hotel on Broad Street in Philadelphia . The Hotel closed and never reopened. I attended the 1976 Eucharistic Confrence held in Philly that year and remember everyone avoided the place like the plague. There was a subway stop on the block the Hotel was located and everyone ascended to street level at the point farthest from the Hotel and crossed to street to avoid passing the hotel at close proximity.
