I was born in Philadelphia and lived there for my enitre life. I always wondered if people in other parts of the country or even the world has ever heard of it. I think it should become a Global City. How many have have heard of it? Tell me where you live as well. (Just the city or country).

I wonder if you contact the Board of Education for that part of Philadelphia, if it would help to have someone look up names in a year book for when Jackie went to school? Or pull up phone numbers for Wilson's in Philadelphia on the internet and call a few. Find someone (like the wife and I), we have unlimited calls around the U.S.A. 24/7/365. Here's a wild shot: Dick Clark ran "Bandstand" T.V. dance show for the teenage set in the 50'ies. I believe the studio was down near 46th and Market. St. I think half of Philadelphia tried to get on the show at one point before they moved to California. Maybe you can dig through their files somehow to find a lead? Sorry I can't be more help. I left West Philadelphia High School in 1961.

I know Philadelphia. I grew up in Lancaster, PA, lived in West Philly for 9 years, lived in North Philly for 1, and now live in Bronx, NY.
Before Philly becomes a global city, y'all need to elect a mayor that actually cares about all the violent crime going on and recognize the causes of such and actually DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
Mayor Street has done a horrible job.
I wish the best for you guys.

I have been to St Joseph's University and the Philadelphia Airport. I live in Portsmouth, Virginia. It is not as large or popular as Philadephia.

I would think it's absolutely absurd if someone hadn't heard of it! It's one the most major cities in the country.

Ok I'm thinking that if you are an American high school graduate you should have heard of Philly--sort of part of our shared history isn't it? I'm from suburburban Chicago--heard of it?
