PHILLY | Back In Stride



There’s nothing like looking back over the passage of time. Grab a glass of something and peruse a few months of life in the fair city of Philadelphia with one of its finest musical citizens in the background.

And I do thank you for the time!

Wahwahwehwah, what is THAT slim highrise building under construction in DT Philly?

Why so slim? Now is a trend or something? Like 432 Park Avenue? Not just ruins skyline of midtown NYC, also goes into Philly skyline to do some damage?

What you are seeing is only the concrete core of the new Comcast building, CITC. This is what the finahed structure will look like and will be anything but skinny:

Thanks everyone!

Nineties Flava, there's no official cinematography on my resume...well not the kind one would put on a resume.

Centropolis, those phones are the size of VHS tapes now. Should be good.

Cro, consider them copyrighted.
