Olde City at Night

Old City in Philadelphia is aptly named.

Olde City Tattoo, 2nd St., Philadelphia

This is the area of the city where
William Penn and the Quakers first settled.
Our state, Pennsylvania, is named after William Penn.
Do you think Wm. Penn had a tattoo?

Franklin Fountain, Market St., Philadelphia 
Old style ice cream and soda fountain. 


Every month or so I venture into the city for photo club.
Afterwards a few of us will stay up til the wee hours of the morning
because we get totally wrapped up in photographing the city at night.

Christ Church, Est 1695, 3rd Street

This is one of my favorite areas of the city.
One of the best things about Old City
is the traditional style Colonial architecture.
So charming.

Oh, and if, in your travels 
you happen on a sign for Bassett's Ice Cream...
By all means stop and buy some. 
It is delicious.

Bassett's has been serving ice cream in Philadelphia for 5 generations.
My favorite flavor is Raspberry Truffle.
I forget what time we got home after this adventure,
but I am sure everyone in the house was already asleep.
