Written by Molly Lester, with photographs by Hidden City Editorial Director and Chief Photographer Michael Bixler, Building Ghosts combines photography, building histories, and essays that make visual connections to hidden themes of community heritage, dislocation, demolition, and neighborhood change.

    “Molly Lester and Michael Bixler mine the crevices and seams of Philadelphia’s rowhouse blocks for signs and stories of the past. The surprising result of their effort is a collection of short essays and photos that reads like an alternative history of the city. In Building Ghosts , the walls really do get to speak.”Inga Saffron, Pulitzer Prize–winning Philadelphia Inquirer Architecture Critic

    Great toy
    Color: Blue+Orange
    I have a little Yorkie that is constantly needing attention. This toy gives me about 15 minutes of peace. Every time he plays with it he loves it. He was scared of it at first, but then it started challenging him.

    Fun for 1minute. 😞
    Color: Blue+Orange
    This is a fun toy that my puppy enjoyed for about 10 minutes. It pops open non stop. Also, I didn’t see anywhere in the description that “Strong chewers should not use”. It was destroyed waaaay too quickly. Charger port should be on outside w a remote for on off. It should be one solid piece so it can’t open. I would only recommend this toy for a dog no bigger than a chihuahua. I would attempt to return if it wasn’t already ruined. 😳😒

    Fairly indestructible.
    Color: Blue+Orange
    Puppy loves them but the charge doesn’t last very long. They had not been chewed to bits in a week so they are not easily destroyed by a puppy. Cute.

    A fun toy
    Color: Orange
    Our 6 week old pup is having a blast with this toy. It resembles a dying bird, so don't get it if that bothers you. It tweets and spins and flops with 3 different settings. Rechargeable is a bonus. The rope may not last long, but it is replaceable with paracord. Well worth the $10.
