My family has resided in the City of Philadelphia since 1840. I was lucky to have relatives live in to their 90′s. They told me of visit’s in the early 1900′s to the store. Shane’s was always a Christmas and Easter tradition. I thank you for keeping the memories alive.

with Our Honorable Mayor Michael Nutter there to cut the sapphire ceremonial ribbon,
and the candy kingdom back open for business?
