Title A name given to the resource Jerry’s Ladies Fashions Description An account of the resource Jerry’s Ladies Fashions occupied this double-wide storefront at 2900 North 5th Street until just a few years ago. Jerry’s was one of three businesses on this block owned and operated by the Schaff family during the 20th century. Jerry’s brother Nathaniel sold men’s and boy’s clothing in his store and their other brother, Murray, operated a variety store specializing in curtains and drapes. The brothers inherited the businesses from their parents, Samuel and Sarah, who owned property on this block as early as 1957. The Schaff family were committed members of their community who aimed to help their community thrive. Jerry’s Fashions even participated in a program providing summer work opportunities to disadvantaged youth every year between 1988 and 1999. In 1981, Jerry’s also hosted a concert played by “La Nueva Contraria” as part of a summer-long neighborhood music festival. Murray Schaff’s influence was even further reaching. Before he took over operation of his parents’ variety shop in 1983, Murray had a successful career as a musician and night-club owner. As a boy of 14, Murray played alto saxophone and sang with an early rock group called the Treniers. In 1940, he formed a group of his own, the Aristocrats, which travelled the country and shared stages with such stars as Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, and Eartha Kitt. His New York City nightclub, “The Open End,” was frequented by celebrities and athletes, including Joe Namath of the New York Jets. Jerry’s son Kevin has taken over the family business and you can visit the store at its current location, just a few blocks away at 3251 N. Front Street. Also visit online at jerrysfashions.com.

Title A name given to the resource Mann Recreation Center Description An account of the resource Now home to the Rivera Recreation Center, this 17-acre plot of land has served the community as a place to play and gather for over six decades. The first recreation center to stand on this ground, the Frederick R. Mann Recreation Center, was built in 1956. At the time, it was one of a many impressive facilities which earned Philadelphia its reputation as a world leader in recreational programming. The center was equipped with a swimming pool, athletic fields, a gymnasium, state-of-the-art playground equipment, and several event spaces. It hosted all kinds of activities, ranging from athletic competitions to theater productions. (The building also served as the original site of the Mann Center for Older Adults, which was relocated to a new building next door in 1980 and is still active today.) At the recreation center’s dedication ceremony in January 1956, Mayor Richardson Dilworth assured Philade­lphians that the facility would be, “properly staffed and maintained so adults and children enjoy its full use.” Unfortunately, the city fell short on this promise. During the 1970s and ‘80s, Philly’s recreation centers, including this site, suffered a long period of government neglect. At the same time, neighborhood youth seeking refuge from drug crime needed the recreation center more than ever. In 1979, the facility’s name was changed to ‘Joseph J. Hersch Memorial Recreation Center,’ but this simple rebranding did nothing to improve its condition. Thanks to advocacy by dedicated community members, the facility finally received much needed funding for repairs in the early ‘90s. In 1995, the facility was rechristened again with its current name, Ramonita Negron Rivera Recreation and Community Center. In the years since, though funding for programming and maintenance has been lacking, hard-working residents have made Rivera Recreation Center a vital asset for families and children embattled by harsh neighborhood conditions. Today, the center provides after school activities, academic support, athletic programming, a public computer center, and community event space. The center is currently undergoing a $10 million renovation including building improvements, a new sprayground, and a community garden, and updated athletic facilities.
