Description
Philadelphia in the late 1880's, like so many cities, was a metropolis on the verge of change. That magic word electricity was slowly transforming things. Within ten years Philadelphia would develop one of the best electric transit systems in the nation. The electric motor would run factories. The incandescent electric light would extend business into the nighttime. And Philadelphia would be known as the workshop of the world. My grandparents were making plans
to come to America from Austria-Hungary. It was an exciting and freewheeling time. Hope was in the air. One hundred thirty years later, all those factories have been torn down or transformed into lofts. And people think about other things.
