Faith in South Philly: Bodega Bonanza

Seventh Street, South Philly. Below Snyder Avenue, it's Little Phnom Penh (*). Above Snyder, it's Little Italy. But it's not that simple.

Below Snyder


Seventh and Snyder. Below here, we enter Little Phnom Penh.


The Last Days of Antonio's.


Apsara Laundromat.


The former Bon Ton.


Now a small grocery.


The former Equity Savings and Loan, Seventh and Moyamensing.


These are memories, but they're not my own.

(*) I haven't found any examples of this or any other name being applied to Seventh below Snyder, but Little Phnom Penh is a name used with pride for similar neighborhoods in other cities.
