the hood list

The following neighborhoods are broken down into ten districts. The plan is to start with Center City and go in the order listed here. In order to visit all 168 neighborhods by the end of the summer, I have to visit 11 neighborhoods each week. I will be traveling by foot, bike, and SEPTA. In most cases, I will be traveling solo, though by the end of June, I hope to have a canine companion to accompany me. After each visit, I will post photos from the neighborhood along with a short history of the neighborhood and my thoughts/musings on the day. I may even attempt a haiku or two. (The English professor in me feels compelled to say that this list comes courtesy of Wikipedia. Though I tried to disable them, I believe most of the hyperlinks work.)
