Save Jewelers Row!

The Issue

A suburban developer wants to demolish six buildings on Philadelphia's Jewelers Row in order to put up a new luxury apartment tower.  Jewelers Row is America's oldest diamond district and the 2nd largest in the nation.  Its enduring charm comes from the intimate small scale shops and storefronts that have lined this brick-paved thoroughfare for 150 years.  Gouging out these six buildings will forever alter Jewelers Row and ruin one of our city's most iconic destinations.  Please help stop this outrageous and destructive land grab.  Let's help them find another place for their project.
