  • Grid Points
    • We've split up the city into 1 square mile grids, and we want to hit every gridpoint (all 233 of them!), ideally taking photos which capture the beauty of all parts of the city.
  • Tours -- 6
    • We take guided tours around the neighborhoods of Philly, and plot them up for you on a handy map. Don't worry too much if our boundaries don't correspond exactly with the official ones. We don't.

  • More Options
    • Future Gridpoints
      • This project is ongoing. So far, we've only covered a bit more than 1/3 of the city. To see where else we plan on going, click on the selector.
    • Tourist Places
      • Okay, so 1 square mile covering can be too large to catch some of the big Philadelphia Landmarks. Click on this selector to see some of the tourist attractions and other places you shouldn't miss.
    • Restaurant Gridpoints
      • Googlemaps will give you all of the restaurants in the city. Here are a selection of ones we like. They run the gamut from places we'd only go to during restaurant week to our favorite hole-in-the wall pizza places.
    • Murals
      • The Philadelphia Murals Arts program is outstanding. There are literally hundreds of murals throughout the city, each one a work of art, and frequently hidden in places you wouldn't expect.
    • Neighorhood Boundaries
      • The neighborhood boundaries can certaintly be a contentious issue. Here we've mapped a neighborhood databse from Temple. It lists our own neighborhood (clearly Grad Hospital) as 'Schuylkill Southwest', so use with caution.
    • Neighorhood Names
      • Select this to see the names of each of the neighborhoods.
    • Recent Points Only
      • Show only points collected in the last two weeks.
