Meet Bob on Boathouse Row
Bob is 85 years old and has been working his his refreshment stand by boathouse row for over 67 years! The city tried to get rid of his little establishment sometime back but to no avail. In 2009, the rowers raised $2000 to purchase a park bench in his honor, it's located in front of the Crescent. Can you imagine doing anything that long, that's dedication! Bob says he will continue to do this as long as he can.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith on West River Drive
Have you seen these two white birds along West River Drive?
Call me crazy but I had to stop and snap some photos of these two geese when I was driving home today. These two have been hanging out near Montgomery Drive and West River Drive for the past couple of years now.
What makes these two ducks or geese special is that they are the only two white birds among thousands of brown/black Canada geese along the Schuylkill River. Anyway, I think they deserve names, what do you think of Mr. & Mrs. Smith?

The Magnolia Garden
The Magnolia Garden, tucked away at 4th and Locust, during bloom, is the most beautiful spots in the city. The Garden was built in honor of George Washington, who apparently loved the magnolia tree. The 13 magnolia trees bordering the garden represent the 13 original colonies.

Meet Gary, a homeless man on Broad & Chestnut
Gary was sitting bent over at the corner of Broad and Chestnut on this particular day that I decided to do street photography.
A young lady probably in her 20's squatted down to talk to Gary for a good 10 minutes. She then ran off crying...
I walked over to talk to the man. He told me his name is Gary and that he had been homeless for about 6 years. I asked how he was able to deal with the extreme cold we've had. He mentioned that a friend of him had, according to Gary "hit it big" and was able to get a hotel for a week. Gary then proudly showed me the green sports watch he had received from the woman who had stopped to talk to him.
I asked Gary if he needed to get help to get to the shelter which he denied because he's had bad experience with them. I gave him some money, shook his hand, and wished him well.

Historic Rittenhouse Town
Historic RittenhouseTown is located in the Historic Northwest section of Philadelphia approximately 8 miles or 20 minutes from Philadelphia's City Hall.
William Rittenhouse, first Mennonite minister in America, erected here in 1690 the colonies' first paper fill. Successive generations of Rittenhouses built additional mills, establishing this region as the center of American paper making. By the 1850s, this village had over 40 buildings, and seven early buildings survive from this once prosperous industrial community. Scientist David Rittenhouse was born here in 1732.
