Let's face it, a lot of people have moved into new homes over the last few years. The seller's market was a crazy place, and buyers were busting to live in a new space. It seems to be slowing down enough for us to start to reflect back on it and catch up with some homebuyers and their 'move' story. The first one just happens to be our very own Bill Ball's story on moving from South Philly to South Jersey. We dive deep into why he chose the 'burbs, why now, and did he lose his marbles during the process?...Also in Dina's Downloads we talk about trying to beat the heat with one city's attempt to create 'invisible shade'.

We're taking this episode to South Philly and are celebrating one of the most relatable, familiar, and heartfelt types of real estate. Homes of this style don't get enough recognition, in our opinion, but they're very familiar to us all: The Grandma House.

Together we do a deep dive on what classifies a home in the Philly region a "Time Capsule" and what signature interior design items you can expect to find when you walk through the door of one.Pour yourself a cocktail and join us for happy hour as we toast to pink bathrooms, wild wallpaper, and more!Follow Sue on Instagram: @S.Philly.Time.Capsules Featured drinks: Lemondrop Cream Martini, 4 Roses Whiskey Lemonade, Old Forester 1920 South Philly Time Capsules: 10:16Dina's Downloads: 42:48
