Stroll through just about any part of Center City and you'll be soaking in a wealth of history — whether you know it or not. Let the Preservation Alliance tell you what's what: Each tour, usually focusing on a particular neighborhood, examines a specific part of Philly's past. This weekend's Jewish Immigrant Tour traces the path of Eastern European newcomers when they arrived in Philadelphia in the late 19th century. Beginning at the Society Hill Synagogue, the tour will make its way to South Street, winding through what was once home to a thriving Jewish community.
