Here's a great Mill Hill photo that is familiar to many old timers who recall the intersection of Market and So. Broad Street. You are looking from a vantage point on South Broad Street. Across the street is the corner building that now houses the Mill Hill Tavern, and of course on the immediate left, the bank which always had a little shack on the corner at Market Street where a gentleman sold newspapers and magazines. Lord, am I getting old! Incidentally, Saturday's (July 24) Tom Glover "Sentimental Journey" column deals with an interesting look back at the early years of legendary Mill Hill; a community which has turned from an eroding neighborhood into an incredibly historic and beautiful neighborhood. 
THANKS TO MIKE MCNICOLL FOR THIS COMMENT: I recognized the Mill Hill at once,it still looks the same outside all these years later. The papers/magazines guy was there in my years working at the Welfare Department when it was in the old Sears building a few blocks away in the early 1980s:) Gotta also put in a plug for Felix's Deli a few stores down from the Mill Hill, outstanding Hoagies:)
THANKS, MACK; INTERESTING INSIGHT.
