Logan Square Flat


At the risk of being exhaustive, here is the Logan Square flat mentioned in Undulant: apartment 2A at 154 North 21st Street, on the second floor, where I lived from 1999 to 2008. As of '08, I moved to Westminster Arch, around the corner from this, at 23rd and Arch, and was there until 2012. 

P.S. Worth noting that this neighborhood can bear the name Logan Square, or can remain nameless; i.e., its not completely a commonplace to call it Logan Square. Some people do, some don't. 

Bar Noir


More Undulant incidental stuff: this is how Bar Noir looked during its heyday in the Aughts. Bar Noir was a "walk-down" on 18th Street, between Walnut and Chestnut in Center City Philly, right off of Rittenhouse Square. During the Free School era, we used it frequently, though not as frequently as we did McGlinchey's and Dirty Frank's. It was a hierarchy of bars, folks, for a bunch of hard-drinking weirdos...
