Witty takes, can't-miss Philly updates, insider info, and curated listings - by Jeff "City" Block

Memorial Day Thoughts

Hi Readers,


I hope everyone has a relaxing Memorial Day weekend and gets some time to reflect and spend time with friends and family. Most of all, I want to express my appreciation for those who have served and express my gratitude for their service and sacrifice.


Thank you to everyone who read my recent ATBs and voted for Will Braveman for Judge on the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. Will not only won the primary election, which virtually assured him a 10-year term on the court, but he was the top vote-getter among all the Philly judges up for election.


I also want to give a shout-out to an amazing organization. Philly has a lot of awesome Little League programs, and one of the best is Mt Airy Baseball. Kudos to Mt Airy baseball. City Block Team is proud to be a sponsor.


Enjoy your weekend, and please reach out to discuss any real estate needs—whether for you or people you know.


Warm regards,


Jeff
