\"AvenueGrill\"<\/p>\n

One of the things I love about South Philly are\u00a0the mom and pop businesses who go the extra mile to preserve the history of what was there before them. Yesterday I had the pleasure of shooting Moonshine restaurant at 1825 East Moyamensing Avenue. I spent some time talking to the owner about the renovation of the restaurant – the\u00a0preservation of\u00a0the original tin ceiling, and the\u00a0months spent painstakingly stripping away many, many coats of paint off the bar to restore it to it’s former glory.<\/p>\n

It was well worth the time and expense\u00a0– it’s gorgeous! In the back is a small dining room where two photos\u00a0are on display of the business in\u00a01938, courtesy of an elderly neighbor whose uncle owned the bar back then. I snapped a few photos, and cleaned them up a bit. Thankfully, they’ve kept the charm of the old place. You can take a look at the restaurant today, and their menu by going here<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
