Black Hebrew Israelites

author: serlingrod : Philadelphia, PA

These black supremacists hang around Center City and make everyone super uncomfortable. While I disagree entirely with their belief that people of color are God's ONLY chosen people, they are definitely part of the urban fabric that makes this city what it is. Rather than get into a debate about religion or race or anything contentious, let's just OBSERVE these people.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG-_UYHyylY It is what it is. City noise.

Urban Cowboys

author: serlingrod : Philadelphia, PA

Black Cowboy at 25th and Wharton. The Black Cowboys raise and tend to horses in deep inner-city neighborhoods, giving children the opportunity to claim a path out of the 'hood on horseback. State Troopers at 17th & Locust.

Trolley Tracks

author: serlingrod : Philadelphia, PA

I think there's something really poetic in the way trolley tracks interact throughout the city. Intersections where two lines cross create great steel curves and shapes, like unintended works of art. While there's lots of tracks in Philly that are no longer frequented by their trolleys, the ones in these pictures (taken along Lancaster Ave. and Baltimore Ave.) are still in service. The only downside - getting stuck while biking!

Where Brooklyn At?

author: serlingrod : Philadelphia, PA

West Philly, of course! This one's for Peter, Luna Park, upfromflames, CartLegger, and the whole Brooklyn crew. I snagged a shot of the street sign while on my bike ride this past Sunday. The following streetscape shot is courtesy of Google StreetView. Look anything like your NY hood? And yes, those appear to be Christmas lights... maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=bro . . . _result&resnum=1&ct=title
