The Streets of ILLadelphia

I've been in this city for three and a half years and it still intrigues me. Traveling from North to South Broad Street, the main street that spans from the one end of the city to the next, is like visiting two completely different cities. This is just a display of some random shots I took while traveling throughout North Philly, Center City, and South Philly.

North Philly:
Some neighborhood boys or"buhls" as they're called here in the ILLadel. I caught them playing some touch basketball (without a hoop) on an unusually warm, November night.A pretty talented amateur skateboarder in North Philly getting his skate on. Pretty rare to see young brothers dabbling in this sport. He's also a skilled saxophonist and all at the age of 18.
Random dude posing for the camera. North Philly is full of interesting characters..I can always find some cool "old heads"chillin in the neighborhood.
Four real cool Church old men at Ebenezer Baptist Church on North Broad Street.
A normal day on the Orange Line at North Philadelphia Station, with the many familiar strangers of PhiLTLHadelphia.
Cool Cat in North Philly. There are many stray cats looking for food, this one was coming straight for my camera.
Center City:

The infamous Love Park in Center City.
Michael Erik Dyson came to speak on his new book Is Bill Cosby Right? this summer at the famed jazz club Zanzibar Blue in Center City.This dude was a classic looking man, playing a mid afternoon game of chess by the Clothes Pin on 15th and Market."Woman in Motion"
Homeless Man chillin underneath City Hall on a humid PhILTHadelphia afternoon.
South Philly Coming Soon...
