PAVONIA STREET is east of South 2nd Street, and ran at one time from south Kaighn Avenue to Mechanic Street. The street dates back to at least 1863 and was known as Kaighn's Row. By 1871 it had been renamed Kaighn's Alley, and by 1879 was known as Pavonia Street. In more recent times Pavonia Street ends short of Liberty Street. As of the summer of 2011 there are only five houses standing on Pavonia Street, and of them, only one is occupied. Like its sister street, Hyde Park, which lay just east, running from Kaighn Avenue to Liberty Street, Pavonia Street will soon be just a memory. |

1888-1890 Camden Post Back in the 19th century, bottling and canning was in its infancy. If you wanted to drink, you did so at a tavern. That was all well and good for afternoons and evenings out, but less ideal for those hoping for a take-away option. Enter: the growler. In those days, the technology was less refined. Growlers consisted of metal pails that were slopped out of side windows and toted away for at-home or lunchtime drinking. And the bizarre name? The story goes that day
laborers would pay neighborhood kids a few cents to run and grab a bucket of beer for them whilst on their lunch breaks, a process that came to be called "running the growler" because of the workers' rumbling stomachs. |
