Mapping Philadelphia: Chestnut from river 2 river

Mapping Philadelphia assignment was exciting. Walking Chestnut St. from river to river, I focused on various messages that the city sends us. We are bombarded with information in all possible forms: road signs, advertisement, posters, shop windows, street art. Text is everywhere you look. This is what I came across on 02/05/07.

Yeah we did do different things, which is good because it gives Chestnut st. a more rounded view and people won't have to look at the same stuff over again.
