- **Event Description**: See ghost signs and learn of the businesses behind them, from lettered signs on building facades to those embedded in the sidewalksAbout this Event"Ghost Signs" are faded and often forgotten business and advertisement signs, usually found on the front or sides of buildings. The effects of decades of weather, neglect, and cover-up attempts have diminished their eye-catching glow, but they still provide a window into the past, revealing generations of a building's history and uncovering fascinating stories of our city. These signs can be found all over Philadelphia, but a large concentration of them are in the Old City neighborhood.Join Hidden City as we explore a range of ghost signs from hand-painted lettering on building facades (some even at eye level) to those embedded in the sidewalks. Businesses discussed will include nautical instruments, department stores, restaurant supply companies, tanners, printers, brush makers, and so many more!Meet at the northeast corner of 3rd and Chestnut Streets: 243 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19106. This tour requires significant walking on uneven brick and slate sidewalks of the Old City neighborhood; proper footwear is a must.Tour guide Jordan Keiffer has been documenting Philadelphia's ghost signs on the Instagram page @phillyghostsigns since 2019. His goal is to connect people to the forgotten stories of these faded signs through historic narratives and supplemental images. His work was featured in a special exhibition on ghost signs at the Neon Museum of Philadelphia in 2021. A native of Montgomery County, PA, Keiffer is a proud Temple University alum. He enjoys long runs and bike rides through the city that allow him to periodically check in on ghost signs.If you are a Hidden City Member, don't forget to use your promo code for a member discount!Questions, concerns, conundrums?

                "description": "Our Mission\r\n \r\nHidden City Philadelphia is dedicated to exploring Philadelphia’s urban landscape through journalism and public history. \r\n \r\nThe Hidden City Daily, our online publication, acts as a watchdog for historic preservation in Philadelphia. We also delve deeply into architecture, urbanism, photography, public art, city life and Philly history.\r\nOur Hidden City Tours aim to change the way local folks look at familiar places, and to illuminate Philadelphia’s often neglected post-colonial history. Tours range from members-only visits inside extraordinary sites such as the vacant Red Bell Brewery, to walking tours that explore places such as Mt. Moriah Cemetery, the Lost Jewish Quarter, and Subterranean Philadelphia. \r\nOur Story\r\nHidden City Philadelphia grew out of founder Thaddeus Squire’s interest in exploring old estates, churches and factories. He went on to create the Hidden City Festival, which featured site-specific contemporary art and performances at nine obscure or abandoned places, including the Met Opera House and Disston Saw Works. A second festival was held in 2013. Today, Hidden City is a non-profit organization that remains dedicated to connecting local residents to Philadelphia and its history. \r\nMembership: \r\nHidden City Philadelphia relies on the generous support of our members to help fund our journalism.
