Here’s my contribution to the 1st ever Rustbelt Bloggers Photowalk. Some of these photos are pulled from other folks. The photos are from different parts of Philly, not from a single neighborhood. For links to other Rustbelt Bloggers Photowalks, go here.
Above: The rusting hulk of the ship United States, which is in drydock in South Philly on the Delaware river. There are plans to rehab it and turn it into a working cruise ship.
Above: Interior of Tallito’s Talluto’s, a famed purveyor of fresh Pasta in the Italian Market district in South Philly.

Above: The Divine Lorraine Hotel, currently slated for redevelopment into condos. According to Wikipedia, the development has stalled for the moment. The building is in North Philly, at the intersections of Broad and Fairmount Streets.

Above: Philly Chinatown. Philly has a decent sized Chinatown with a very diverse East Asian population–you can hear Cantonese, Vietnamese, Mandarin, and Fujianese as you walk around.
