Anyone know anything about this lovely building on the corner of 52nd and Locust? I know it was the Bushfire Theatre of Performing Arts. Any idea if it is still open?

Fireplace detail in my West Philly row house ❣️💐
One of the most charming things about West Philly homes is how unique they are.
Does your West Philly home have any unique, original, historic, or otherwise interesting features? Please share! I’d love to feature them on the page!!

One of my favorite Instagram pages started a great discussion yesterday about fears and concerns people have when buying their first home. Some of the common objections raised included:
-Student loans
-Working freelance/fluctuating income and not qualifying for a mortgage loan
-No money for down payment
-Too expensive in desired area
-Fear of feeling dumb/having no clue about the process
-Competitiveness in the market (including competing with developers making cash offers/getting out-bid on your dream home and feeling disappointed)
-Lack of financial education
-Fear of unexpected costs, maintenance, etc. and having no idea how to take care of a house (especially an old house)
I had MANY of these concerns when buying my house, especially as a single, millennial female with no clue where to begin! I eventually overcame those concerns, but many out there are still struggling to take next steps. Did/do you have any of these fears? What are your thoughts?
P.S. As I sit here typing this post, I can definitely hear a bat or some type of small bird flying around in my ceiling. 🦇 Talk about unexpected expenses. . .

Good morning! I am SO curious about this place. A little restaurant tucked right in on the corner of a classic Spruce Hill residential street. I’m sitting here at the crack of dawn on a Saturday morning, with my coffee and oatmeal 😋, researching about this adorable 45th and Larchwood beauty, which I pass by often. Formerly Marigold Kitchen, it closed earlier this year. It has a for sale sign (PRE), but I can’t find the listing on their website or any other public sites. Last listed for $699k. Maybe it sold and just hasn’t been updated yet. Built in 1930. At one point used by the current Zahav chefs! I have never been inside, but would love to see it! I hope to find out more soon.
If you have info, comment below or let me know!
