Sweet job, very nice to see some parts of Philly not usually represented here.

DecoJim · #22 Posted **May 10, 2007, 6:25 PM**

Great!
I have been to Philadelphia two times. Some looks familiar some does not. It looks like I need to plan a third trip.
One strange thing is those victorian row houses that were covered up with siding including angled siding to cover the cornice; they need to rip that stuff off.

Where is this taken from? Anybody know?

Be sure not to piss off those rude Philadelphians. Something might drop on your head.

I believe that shot was 20th street or something like that, just north of downtown.

NO way man!

Thats the corner of 16th and green, exactly where I live! Im in the apartment building not pictured on the northwest corner, thats the northeast corner where that house is. Knew someone who lived in it, dope ass 3rd floor with like 16 foot ceilings.

great!

Evergrey, the houses still standing will remain standing (except for one). Air conditioners mean 'someone lives here'. NTI, yes, has made it fresh.

One of the lively black locals VZ mentioned looked quite angry. I hope someone pacified him with a cheeseburger.

Outstanding photos Colday. You really got around and gave a good sampling of the city.

Great photos! It looks like the R5 was actually on time when you were at Market East

ChrisLA · #29 Posted **May 11, 2007, 5:55 PM**

Seeing these makes me want to visit Philly again.

Dirty.

DenverDane · #31 Posted **May 11, 2007, 6:55 PM**

Joey D · #32 Posted **May 11, 2007, 7:02 PM**

Nice, looks like my hometown in this shot!

Great Thread!

What street was that pic a shot of?

ColDayMan · #33 Posted **May 11, 2007, 7:38 PM**

No clue. It was off of Germantown Ave, though.

Cirrus · #34 Posted **May 11, 2007, 7:43 PM**

Very nice.

However: I hate the Cira Center at night. Hate it hate it hate it. T-A-C-K-Y.

Cirrus · #35 Posted **May 11, 2007, 7:45 PM**

BTW: This picture = win.

#1 ColDay picture ever.

Segun · #36 Posted **May 11, 2007, 11:15 PM**

I got this cheesesteak where my heart used to be.

Eigenwelt · #37 Posted **May 12, 2007, 12:44 AM**

Cirrus, I agree with you on both counts. Cira Centre has become one of my favorite buildings in the city during the day but I depise it to my core at night. What a way to ruin a fantastic structure.

And that is an amazing shot of the Victory Building. It's long been a sentimental favorite of mine. In the early to mid nineties myt mother had an apartment near it and I'd pass it all the time. Back then it was abandoned and I somewhere have photos of it in ruins, with trees growing out of the uppermost windows. I am so glad it was finally rehabbed.

PhillyRising · #38 Posted **May 12, 2007, 3:30 AM**

^The Victory Building was the poster child of Center City Blight. That's another big postive for Philly...most of CC's blight has vanished.

boden · #39 Posted **May 12, 2007, 1:26 PM**

It's Philly day on the forum.and I like it. Very nicely done.
