Philadelphia blocks are NOT really long. In fact, they're quite short.

On Market East stop spacing closes to 3 blocks, but elsewhere it falls around 5. This is because M.E. was the commercial center of the city when the Market Frankford Line (El) was originally built.

Also, didn't we have a thread on this exact same topic like a year ago?
