Marines Mark 251st Birthday on a Philly Parking Lot Where a Tavern Will Rise Again

Marines gathered Tuesday on a parking lot on South 2nd Street between Market and Chestnut in Philadelphia to celebrate the Marine Corps' 251st birthday, standing on the future site of a planned reconstruction of Tun Tavern, the watering hole widely considered the birthplace of the Corps. The gathering marked the third annual block party commemorating the occasion at the site, drawing Marines past and present to a stretch of pavement that organizers hope will one day host a working tribute to their service's origins, according to 6abc Philadelphia.
