Silhouette of the Philly skyline with the Ben Franklin Bridge at sunset from Camden, South New Jersey (10.26.11).
On my way to meet a co-worker for dinner, I took a wrong turn and crossed the Delaware River via the Ben Franklin Bridge, ending up in Camden, NJ. I took about 10 photos and immediately re-entered the freeway. The architecture, decrepit boarded-up Victorian houses and falling buildings, quickly caught my eye. Unbeknownst to me, the city of Camden has the highest crime rate in the nation, and is best known for its struggles with urban dysfunction. Three Camden mayors have been jailed for corruption, the last was in 2000.

Done for a Phillies themed party. All buttercream with fondant accents. All edible except for baseballs.
In Sept I asked Phil if he would like a quilt. The other kids had received handwork I had done for various occasions. Phil had nothing. He said yes in a rather noncomittal way. I asked him what size? What pattern? What color? Etc. His only comment was that he liked green like forest colors. I had quite a bit of green remnant fabric from the Say WA and Midnight Jungle quilts. I looked for a pattern with only rectangles and no bias pieces so I could do it before I lost the use of my hands. Made from a pattern called Infinity, I'd saved from a magazine that I could do from fabric on hand. I ended up only buying the outer border/backing. It was machine quilted in leaf patterns professionally. Completed December 2007

“Philly Skyline West”
~~~~~~~~~~
These monster business buildings sit side by side with apartment buildings to watch the sunset on just another day in The City of Brother Love.
Philadelphia was the first capitol of the United States. Because it was centrally located amongst the 13 Colonies, it had a huge role in the founding of this country even before there WAS a capitol. That led to the rapid growth and development of the city. Starting with the Christ Church and Burial Ground opening in 1695, businesses have always found a home in The City of Brotherly Love. Not only do they like to be giants in the business world but in the physical world as well. Christ Church stood as the tallest building in the city for 102 years. Not long after the record was broken, Philadelphia’s City Hall was built and the city’s founder, William Penn was placed on top to look over his beloved land. There was a “gentlemen’s agreement” not to build higher than City Hall. That agreement kept Philadelphia’s City Hall the highest building for 93 years. In 1987, Liberty One was built, which you can see peeking out behind the 2400 Building. Many Philadelphians believed that because we broke the “gentlemen’s agreement”, it started “The Curse Of Billy Penn”. The curse was believed to have kept Philadelphia from winning a sports championships for years since none of the franchises won a single championship since The 76’ers won in 1983. The beloved baseball team The Philadelphia Phillies broke the curse in 2008 with the history making World Series win.
After Liberty one was built, it then began the race to build Philadelphia up, creating a modern skyline city. In 2008, Comcast got into the race and wanted not only the tallest building in the city, but they wanted it to look like a computer thumb drive and called it the Comcast Center. Happy with their accomplishment, they wanted to go even bigger. In 2017, they built the Comcast Technology Center to shadow over their own original building. If you ask me, it looks like someone extending a certain finger as a response that they got so high.
