Walkway at The Benjamin Franklin Parkway:
The Benjamin Franklin Parkway is a scenic boulevard that runs through the cultural heart of Philadelphia. Named for favorite son Benjamin Franklin, the mile-long Parkway cuts diagonally across the grid plan pattern of Center City’s Northwest quadrant. It starts at Philadelphia City Hall, curves around Logan Circle, and ends before the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It is sometimes called the “Champs-Élysées” of Philadelphia. “What I like about cities is that everything is king size, the beauty and the ugliness.” -Joseph Brodsky
