Graduate Hospital No More
While we’re just describing things however we feel like it today, let’s go with this: It appears Penn is not content to simply expand to the river in West Philly; today Graduate Hospital will re-open as Penn Medicine at Rittenhouse. With the proposed foot bridge over the river and a new, hopefully non-scary South Street Bridge, will Penn one day stretch all the way into Center City? Who knows. For now people are content to spar over the name:
Maybe people will start calling the neighborhood P-Med? Brad, when you’re back from your honeymoon (congrats!), get on it. |

The quote is wrong from what I know.
The City Planning Commission says the official boundary of the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood stops a block north of the hospital, at South Street.
The main hospital building is north of South and my understanding is Rittenhouse stops at the north side of Lombard.
P-Med however rocks.
yeah, but now the neighborhood is officially called “Marion Anderson Heritage Village”. So why don’t they just call it Penn Medicicne at Marion Anderson Heritabe Village. Sounds snappy to me!
according to phila.gov that neighborhood is gray’s ferry (but I’ve been cussed out here for pointing that out before)
when pete dexter was beat up at 23rd and Lombard it was called grays ferry haha
I Hate Stephen [sic] Singer
I love Stephen Singer. I just can’t afford a billboard.
Penn’s grasp was into that neighborhood back in the day. The hospital used to be the Graduate Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, then they broke up in the 80s and went their separate ways.
Or…wait, maybe it was named after the movie.
Thanks for the love and noteriety. All I’ve gotten out of the ad campaign so far is 2 free t-shirts and endless double-takes over the phone.
Turns out http://www.mariananderson.org/classical_notes/index.html runs from “Broad Street west to 21st Street and Bainbridge Street south to Christian Street.”
