Looking East. Notice open areas available for development. Next stop:
Collingswood, just around the bend, one minute away across bridge. Traditional and charming
"walkable" small town America.
Building on edge of Ferry Ave. PATCO parking lot awaiting an owner and TLC.
Abandoned buildings, one block east of Ferry Ave Station. Any development can be safely
enclosed and controlled, with a modern commuter line running right through the
middle, ten minutes in either direction of the highest purchasing and commercial
centers of the fifth largest market in America.
Abandoned properties a few yards south of FERRY AVE PATCO parking lot, west side of line.
Notice fence on left separating elevated tracks from street.
Another abandoned property at west end of FERRY AVE PATCO parking lot.
