A long-awaited dream is becoming reality on one of Philadelphia's most iconic streets.
Marsha's, the city's first queer women-focused sports bar, officially opened its doors Friday on South Street, a neighborhood rich with history and self-expression.
For owner Chivonn Anderson, this opening isn't just a business milestone; it's personal.
"Being open for Red October is going to be really exciting," said Anderson. "I know that the city is ready for something like Marsha's."
The bar is designed to be a welcoming, inclusive space that highlights local sports and centers queer women; two communities often left out of traditional sports bar culture.
