After a bit of research and planning, here is a brief documentary on Berks Street from just East of Frankford Ave to 15th Street. The most interesting changes were, not surprisingly, where Temple University’s main campus is now located. I discovered that a parking lot and student sports pavilion were built over a really decadent cemetery from the early 20th century. Some not so surprising changes: there’s more trash and cars now, and the streets are definitely smaller.
Enjoy.
