I’d love to get the thoughts from guy riding the Google Streetview Trike as he rode along Pearl “Street” in Philly.
This section is literally a hidden space in Philly. Its a tunnel under the Reading Viaduct, a rail line that used to feed into Reading terminal but now is a truncated and abandoned platform. I think a victorian-era train platform still exists on Spring Garden street. Its corpse winds through a 15 or so block of the city between Vine Street and Fairmount Avenue. Inevitably it’ll be torn down, but right now it is something of a beautiful ruin.
