We stayed in the Harrods Casino parking lot for free for 2 nights. Finding a campground around here is tough, just like the neighborhood.
Yep, that’s the state prison across the street from Harrods.
We took a hop on/off bus tour of the city. Did you know that the Monopoly board game used the railroads, jail and water works from Pittsburgh?
The 1st American Free Library was founded by Dr. Pepper (not related to the drink).
The parking garage in Old Town is hidden behind false house fronts.
There are more than 1000 murals.
Sculptures and fountains galore
Ben Franklin bust made out of keys and pennies.
Of course, Rocky and the famous steps
The architecture is quite stunning.
The Gates of Hell, DaVinci Code
Laureen’s favorite: The “F%&k You” building. ????
The historical and famous sites
Betsy Ross home
Benjamin Franklin’s grave. People throw pennies on it. “A penny saved is a penny earned “
Sixth Sense house “I see dead people “
Macy’s Organ
St. Peter Church and St Paul Cathedral
The Barnes Foundation houses a private collection of works by Picasso, Matisse, Van Gogh, Renoir, Cézanne and other European artists. Laureen could have spent all day here.
Of course, every city has fun signs
Philadelphia had a lot more to offer than The Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, we thoroughly enjoyed our short time here.
