The road to nowhere
Elfreth's Alley is known as our nation’s oldest residential street. People have been living and collecting mail on this street since 1702. That's a lot of junk mail. Elfreth's Alley has been home to more than 3,000 people. Today thirty-two houses, built between 1728 and 1836, line the alley. Pretty amazing to come to Philly to see a street, but it's pretty cool. Nice shutters too.
The only problem with this alley is that there isn't enough road to get to 88 miles per hour!

Nice shot. Looks like a land of make believe!
Just found your site, and I must say I've been enjoying it thoroughly. I lived in Philly for four years at 21st and Market (in the building with the Trader Joe's, assuming it's still there). I've never lived anywhere I've loved so much and still come back to visit at least once a year. A friend of mine from here in Alabama is up that way, and I sent him to your site to learn about the city and find places to visit. Thanks so much for putting this together!

Love the picture. Sure wish I lived there.
