Join Mayor Parker, Councilmember Jeffery Young Jr., the Philadelphia Police Department, the Police Athletic League, and the Capital Program Office to officially break ground on a new 22nd District Police Station, North Central Public Safety Building, and PAL Center - a $40 million investment in a new 30,600 square foot facility.

Our popular street festival brings thousands of visitors to Baltimore Avenue between 40th and 51st Streets to experience $1, $3, and $5 deals from local businesses, plus live music, arts and crafts activities, and plenty of fun surprises. The Stroll is held twice each year on Thursdays in June and September.

This is a block meeting that the Councilmember would like to start having over the next few months to give his constituents a chance to voice the changes they would like in their neighborhood.

 This mural pays tribute to West Philadelphia’s civic giants — community organizers, public servants, and leaders whose vision helped shape the neighborhood’s heart and soul. The mural features (L to R) Dr. Herman Wrice, Congressman Lucien Blackwell, CB Kimmins, Tim Spencer, David Fattah, Olympian John Baxter Taylor, Jr., Senator Vincent Hughes, Mayor Michael Nutter, Senator Hardy Williams, Curtiss Jones, Sr., Senator Freeman Hankins, Edgar “Sonny” Campbell, Jr., and Congressman Bob Brady.  It honors the men who championed justice, opportunity, and progress both in West Philly and beyond. Set against bold colors and familiar landmarks, their portraits embody the vibrancy, resilience, and enduring spirit of the community. This mural stands as a lasting testament to their leadership and the generations they continue to inspire.
