Philadelphia Pictures>
We'll start up @ my grandparents' home first which is 20 miles north of Philly.
---This is the front of my granparents' house. A typical Philly suburb house.
---The back of their house.
---A look @ their garden and stuff
---My grandma sitting down talking to my uncle.
---What the family room looks like from the kitchen.
---Me and my grandpa on the day I was leaving.
---ACME....not its not dynamite....its a supermarket....and it's pronounced ACK- A- ME...
And now, the Philly pictures----
---The U.S. Postal Service Museum on the right....it's the oldest post office in the U.S.
---The Ben Franklin Bridge. That's New Jersey on the other side. Campbell's Field is on the right with the lights. The BFB is one of the many bridges going from Philly to NJ over the Delaware. The other bridges are; Walt Whitman (pronounced Wall Women in Philly) and the Tacony-Palmyra bridge.
---Here is some building in East Philly and i forgot its name...kool looking tho.
--- The newly built Constitution Center where lots of historic importances are located. The Center is right across from Independence Mall where The Liberty Bell, Carpenter's Hall and Independence Hall are.
---Elfreth's Alley...Philadelphia's oldest and smallest alley. I believe it's also the country's smallest & oldest alley.
---The Fountain in Washington Square, one of Philly's city parks.
---My grandmother in Washington Square in front of the fountain. We sat and relaxed while having lunch in the park.
---My grandmother in front of the Chinese Arch which is at the beginning of the Philly Chinatown. The arch is between the buildings in the background.
---The park @ Penn's Landing (which is like Channelside, but MUCH bigger.) They were having an Asian Festival.lol
---The Seaport Museum @ Penn's Landing.
---Condo on the Delaware...Will Smith's dad lives here.
---Christ Church where William Penn and other famous people are buried. The highway in front is I-95.
This one I decided to keep big because the downtown view is awesome. Those are the two tallest buildings in Philly. The tallest one is the trademark "Philly Downtown Skyscraper" cuz its so recognizable at night with all of the lights on it. This view is from the Delaware.
---Another view of downtown still from the Delaware. The arch in front is the beginnings of a monorail system connecting PA and NJ....that'll happen in oh idk...100 yrs...lol
---THE SPIRIT OF PHILADELPHIA....a ferry (pronounced furry) that was spossed to be a gamblin ferry but couldnt sustain a crowd...so now its famous...haha imagine that.
---The Irish memorial for all youze Irish people out there. It was dedicated to every Irish person who came over during the potatoe famine. (Sry bout the people in the pic...cant do much when yur on the wrong side of the bus ya know?)
---The steeple of Independence Hall. For all youze who didnt listen in history...its where the Declaration and constitution were created.
---Indepence Hall on the left and Carpenter's Hall on the right....they had a bomb scare or sumthing that day...lol
---Another great pic of the 2 halls with the famous carriage rides in front.
