Center City Adventure By: Ella Hauptman Philadelphia, PA
March 2023 | 1
My friend Peyton and I, being freshmen, are still unfamiliar with the City of Philadelphia. Though we could have just chosen to remain in this state of uncertainty, we instead decided to start going on bi-weekly adventures. Every other Friday, we like to see new places, try new food, and explore areas we are unfamiliar with. Before this day, I had never been to, or around, Rittenhouse Square. After seeing it, I realized how much more of the city we need to explore. Even in the busiest parts of the city, there are still little moments that capture the beauty and unique nature of Philadelphia. Through this photo book, I hope you are able to see Philadelphia through our unsure, yet curious, point of view.
