The following year, Brown and Street decided to take their town watch idea one step further. Now corporate sponsors cover the cost of food, a DJ, children's games and clowns. A non-profit also passes out health information. While community improvement is the driving force behind Street's political ambitions, he is content to be a corporate lawyer for the moment. During February, Street billed about 169 hours, exceeding the firm's expectation of 156 hours.
Street handles a combination of corporate and real estate deals.
He has worked on behalf of the Philadelphia Housing Authority, helping the agency comply with federal regulations. He also assisted the Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development's efforts to acquire land for the city's new sports stadiums. Street currently represents a woman trying to donate land to the city. Bernard Lee, a partner at Wolf Block who attracted Street to the firm, says Street's knowledge of how government works is a major asset for the firm. Many lawyers here know who to go to for government access.
