Advanced Vaudeville?

I noticed the sign for Advanced Vaudeville. Is there such a thing as beginning vaudeville? Nice shot of the 2013 view.

Ah! Thanks (baxado)

Newsstand

In 1974, I purchased the newsstand that you can see in the 2013 photo. Stayed there for ten years and earned a very good living. Then it started to change for print media. Philadelphia lost two of its four daily papers and magazines skyrocketed in price. The handwriting was on the wall and I got out.
