Rediscovered in the MOVIEHOUSE PRODUCTIONS archives is Joel Meyerowitz's Feltonville Story, recorded on January 19, 2003. Feltonville is a neighborhood in upper North Philadelphia, centered around Front Street and the Roosevelt Boulevard. Joel lived in Feltonville between 1945 through part of the 1970's at 358 E. Wyoming Avenue. This audio transcription is Joel's vivid retelling of many facets of everyday life in Feltonville and his other Philadelphia adventures. This story of a great Philadelphia neighborhood will fortunately now never be lost to history.

Joel, your farther Max Meyerowitz was my dentist for many years and Eileen/Esther was in my Barton and Olney class. I worked at Merton Abrams' Delicatessen between the S.S. Burk and Miller's. Your description is spot on.
I lived in the area from 1984-2005. I remember doing and seeing some of the same experiences. But it was changing alot as well.
I grew up on 4th st at Wingohocking 62-82 st Henrys played for the Tabor Rams football
