Drake donates money to build a studio for Philly school Strawberry Mansion

[Still Benefited]

"Although in some ways the school is still close to the edge as students and teachers face brutal fights and major budget cutbacks, a new school year has brought new reason to hope at Strawberry Mansion. Support for Strawberry Mansion’s principal, teachers and students flooded the school after ABC News brought viewers an up-close look at life there. The generosity of viewers has helped breathe new life into the school, funding 13 college scholarships for last year’s seniors and more for this year’s graduating class, plus student uniforms, books and calculators. Grammy Award-winning rap superstar Drake was inspired to donate money to build a recording studio at Strawberry Mansion and met with students, surprising them while on his worldwide tour"

Like all neighborhoods in Philly. It was once a neighborhood of rich folks with City Mansions.

Yeah the neighborhood is bad but I think that area will be the one of the areas close to a change soon because of its proximity of Fairmount Park.

Why would you build a recording studio in the school? Are they going to charge for recording sessions? How does that work outside of school hours? What kind of ish is this? And is it a middle and high school still? Build a library....but I'm glad I went to Central anyway lol...we straight and always will be.

And the Strawberry Mansion section has been in rebuild-mode for past couple of years. Business, houses...not the complete desolate wasteland is had turned into. I'm from down the street...the "Brewerytown" sect...All of that ish is just "Norf Philly"
