    Thank you for posting this picture. I've been looking for one of The Palm for a very long time. I remember walking by this movie theater when I was a kid.

    Default Dobson Run - Sewer Outlet-In Ontario Street. 23rd St and W Ontario St 8/4/1910



    A small Schuylkill River tributary called Dobson's Run once drained a watershed consisting of parts of East Falls, Nicetown and Germantown. Like many such natural streams, in Philadelphia and most other cities in the world, it was systematically buried in a sewer beginning in the 1890s, and now appears only on the Philadelphia Water Department's sewer maps. Old city maps, however, still show this small stream, which entered the Schuylkill on the east side, north of Laurel Hill Cemetery and just about where the Twin Bridges of Roosevelt Boulevard now stand.
