Over the course of the next year, virtually every piece of Philadelphia history will be enjoyed as tourists from all over the world visit our city. But the story of Philadelphia will be both the history that is still with us — and the throngs of history that well — hasn’t survived.

If you’ve spent any time enjoying the Italian Market in South Philadelphia (America’s oldest outdoor market that is still open today, in fact) then you’ve no doubt passed by one of its signature landmarks — P&F Giordano Fruit & Produce. Passing by it will have a new meaning now, as this past Saturday was Giordano’s last in business after an incredible one hundred and four years.
