Lowes or Home depot has s4s oak and poplar. Whitewood is poplar too,
and is usually cheaper. Unfortunately you pay pretty much for it. But
it is an option.

You can try Advantage Lumber in Buffalo. Their web site says they ship
small orders via UPS. I don't know if they have a minimum order
requirement (other than for wholesale pricing).

Many hardwood vendors will custom mill rough stock for you.

What parts of the area surrounding Philadelphia do you consider local
enough to drive? There are a few very nice hardwood stores in Amish
country, and a couple in nearby New Jersey.

Here are a few I've patronized over the past few years:
