The growth of the Philadelphia metropolitan area
pjmch7 commented on thepokemaniac's City Journal Entry in Winchester, Delaware
I wish the 295/NS interchange was like that haha. Right now it is amazingly confusing, congested, and dangerous. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=39.871738,-75.101166&spn=0.01469,0.027552&t=h&z=15 -

I have never been to Pittsburgh but it seems like a really nice city... I LOVE LOVE LOVE Philadelphia, not just because I grew up here either though. I can't think of any other city like Philly (or really... the whole metro)... it's hard to describe. Sure we have problems, some neighborhoods are downright warzones, the schools suck, and the job market isn't moving, but most of the city is great. Pictures:

what is your favourite landmark in this world ?
pjmch7 replied to johnwinston's topic in Architecture & Urban Planning
Philadelphia's Benjamin Franklin Parkway is my favorite. The wide boulevard connects City Hall and the art museum, both beautiful landmarks themselves. Looking towards the art museum: Towards city hall: Logan Square (really a circle) -
I-95 In Philadelphia is terrible not because it it too small, or the roads are bad, but it completely disconnects the city from the Delaware River front. On one side are the historical and trendy neighborhood of Old City, the ritzy Society Hill, and the working class Italian/Irish South Philadelphia. On the other side there are parking lots, big box stores, and strip clubs. Basically, the east border of Philadelphia is I-95, not the Delaware River. On the New Jersey side, mass transit is horrible, with only one 14-mile commuter line and terrible bus service, so every highway and major road is jam packed going both in and out of the city at rush hour. This isn't really a highway problem but more of a problem with the lack of transit and the amount of sprawl in south jersey.
