Ave. of the Arts

The section of Broad Street where I chose to take my pictures was the Avenue of the Arts section, running from city hall down to South Street. This section, which contains many of the city’s major theaters, is in the mindset of attracting tourists and is kept in much better shape than other sections of the street.


This photo is of the front entrance of the Kimmel Center. I chose it because of this building’s prominence on the Avenue of the Arts. The Kimmel center is one of the more noticeable buildings on the street, topped with a glass atrium that runs the length of the entire block.



This is of one of the signs out in front of the Wilma Theater, displaying their upcoming performances. I chose this because the Wilma is also one of the more notable theaters in this area.




This picture shows one of the many “Walk! Philadelphia” signs in the area, and represents the aim this section of Broad Street has towards attracting tourism.'





This historic landmark plaque on the Academy of Music shows the deep history of some of the buildings on this section of Broad.


This parking garage was very aggressive in their advertising, and this picture is of one of the many signs they had on display. I figured this also represented the heavy tourism traffic in the area.
