1843, 10th & Chestnut, Center City.

I tried to think of the highest most inaccesible sign I could remember that I was never able to get a good picture of before. This was it.

I’ve shot this corner before, but not from this side and not this close so…here it is.

South Side Pizza, South st., South Philly

Do you know what this is? It’s Lorenzo’s. After the fire they tore the wood face off the building, and this was underneath. I haven’t had much of a chance to shoot lately (which is a shame because I got a new zoom lens) but my friend told me about this gem a few weeks ago and I was able to stop by it today.

STREET TYPE PHILLY TRAVEL EDITION

For my friend’s senior Degree Project (it’s like our Graphic Design thesis, but it’s a project, not a paper) we had to travel to Point Pleasant, West Virginia (if you know of it, it can only be for one reason). We had a very specific shot list… but I had to take some sign photos along the way.

I apologize that these are all so different.

I really don’t know what the top or bottom one says.
