Port Richmond

port richmond dashboard
I took my first walking tour of Port Richmond 2 weeks ago. I had driven through Port Richmond before, but never walked through it at any point of my 5 years here in Philly (so much more Philly to walk through too!). I went out with my friend Andi to shoot last month's Philadelphia Grid Project assignment.

Above is a shot of someone's dashboard. It had about a dozen hardcover books on the dashboard. Weird.

Here's a flickr set of 26 shots from the couple of hours we spent walking in the area bounded by Aramingo Ave and Richmond St and Allegheny Ave and Indiana Ave. That area is so Polish that many of the stores don't have a speck of English in their signage. Cool spot.

    I used to hang out in Port Richmond back in the 70's, primarily around Thompson and Belgrade near Allegheny. I still have friends from there. Awesome place and I enjoyed the Polish air about the area. For this New Yorker to be accepted by my friends there and be part of the family was awesome.
