How They Ruined Philadelphia

I have a soft spot for Philly. It is our most historic city. But while the ghosts of Jefferson and Penn still haunt the cobblestones, the modern city is being choked by the "march of faceless boxes." From the glass soap dispensers on Market Street to the interstate canyon that severed the city from its river, we’re looking at the decades-long effort to destroy the cozy and charming spirit of this jewel of historic American architecture. It’s not an accident; it’s bad taste on a grand scale.
