This Old House

Well, my life isn't that exciting. But, everyone I know talks to me about where I live. Some people really like my house, some people hate my neighborhood. So i decided to document my house and the life i live inside of it.

Hopefully I figured out how to post my audio-slideshow or this is just a silly placeholder.
Stay Tuned!

Mapping Center City Philadelphia

For this project we had to map a street in Center City that went from river to river. I chose Market Street, and I decided on a theme that is very dear to me; public transportation. Due to my lack of a driver's license I rely on the services of SEPTA, PATCO, Greyhound, and other fine companies to get around from place to place. Without them id be stuck here in my room in North Philadelphia, or forced to walk or ride a bike far distaces. No thank you.

Philadelphia Past and Present

These houses on the Alley were converted into shops, none of the other houses have.












Full view of Elfreth's Alley looking East, notice the missing house on the right hand side.












View of the first few houses on the block, highlighting the missing house. This is the only part of the block where the original houses are missing.

Several doors in a row on the Alley.

House on Elfreth's Alley. It clearly demonstrates the changes over time that happened in the neighborhood, even if they aren't very drastic and mostly cosmetic.
