Your Weekly Dose of Real Estate News, Open Houses, Listings and More — by Jeff “City” Block

The Eagles are in the playoffs. I will be there Sunday and I am pumped.
And congratulations to the winner of my Eagles-Cowboys Ticket giveaway in my last ATB.

The winner was Catherine Braun, who bought a great house from me in the Graduate neighborhood many, many years ago.
Her husband Hans and daughter Emma went to the game. It was Emma’s first game and she saw a classic Eagles thrashing of Dallas. Does not get much better.

Have a great weekend and go Birds!
Best regards,
