Old Ridge Avenue


Once upon a time, Ridge Avenue use to cross over the railroad tracks at the Wissahickon train station. Today, Rochelle Avenue is the new street name and Ridge Avenue has a new route. It now goes around the railroad and up over a man made bridge road that is famous for its bike races. (also known as the wall)

Interesting post. I grew up on Manayunk ave between both Osborn streets and spent way too much time at the wissahickon train station playing on the tracks.

Last year I spent a couple of months scanning 1600 family 35mm slides. I have posted a bunch on my page at http://mte.slide.com/ all are from the 60's

Take care
