Philly in May Sponsored by Day or Night Door Service

CCD Ride!Philadelphia Poster Exhibition
May is Preservation Month and the Center City District, in collaboration with The Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia, is exhibiting its award-winning Ride!Philadelphia posters at the Philadelphia Center for Architecture all month. The posters, featuring historic photographs, renderings and descriptions of Philadelphia street corners, may be found on over 50 Center City bus shelters. Each panel features a representation of the actual street corner from a particular date in the past, some not too long ago and some from the early days of Philadelphia. On May 10, 5:30-7:30pm, there will be a reception and panel presentation for the exhibit. CCD representatives, along with a panel of three historians, will make presentations focusing on the history of a select group of sites depicted on the signs. The May 10 reception is free, but reservations are requested by contacting Patrick Hauck at [email protected].
