Sorry–not the history I learned about her. Evelyn Lee was a resident of a single room in a building next door to the aforementioned brothel. Her building and her room were often mistaken for one of the prostitute’s rooms. Evelyn kept having to say no, until she finally gave in, realizing that she could accumulate a fortune without paying the madam.
She literally and figuratively (OK SNORG Tees?)hid her considerable earnings under her mattress. Within about 4 years, she had saved enough to buy the Cornichon Mansion at 21st and Harrison (later bulldozed to make way for a tea garden). Many suitors were enamored with her, but she finally settled on a man named Connie Mack, of baseball fame. Mr. Mack later left her to manage and own the Philadelphia Athletics. She was heart-broken.

The most fun part of reading these comments are the ones that go on about the new provincials. The new provincials’ are fun too.

The name is so cloying my tongue turned inside out.

It was called Mission Hill Saloon – which makes it ok to be considered the Mission. It was a cool dive bar, too bad it’s gonna be turned into a hipster dufus spot. RIP MHS.

It’s a stupid name, but who does or does not go to a bar based on its name and not its location/atmosphere/etc.?

They used to call it, “North East Mission Industrial Zone” or NEMIZ for short.

dear neighborhood territorialists,

remember when that whole area was called the “multimedia gultch?”
it was nearly beginning to catch, like nopa, but then that little dot come bust happened…

and that’s probably when all you mission vs. potrero quibblers started moving into the area, trying to claim it as your own, and calling it by whatever name makes you feel cooler.

who the fuck really cares? it’s missionish. also potreroish. and yes, it’s all changed quite a bit. and say what you will about hipsters and gentrification, all I know is that having more follks around makes that blighted strip of street a hell of a lot safer.
