Hi there! My name is Gabriel Gottlieb and I have created this blog to disseminate info about development and neighborhood revitalization here in the City of Brotherly Love: Philadelphia. I am originally from North Jersey and went to college in South Jersey and then moved into the city to study at Penn. I have been fascinated with this city since I moved here and constantly read about the city's history, economy, and its progress and future development, which as we all know seems infinite.

Many people seem to still be unaware of the developments and revitalization that is happening in some neighborhoods, though, and I want to pass that info on to everyone who reads this blog. The info I gather is from my own research, which includes my hobby of walking through and observing Philadelphia's many neighborhoods. If you find what I talk about here interesting, you might want to walk through those same neighborhoods yourself if you haven't already.

P.S. In case you're wondering where I got the name "Philadelphiathrives" from, it is the English translation of the city's motto "Philadelphia Maneto".
