The adventure in the city.

While walking through inner city Philadelphia I noticed there are several different types of transportation many people use whether it is by bus, taxi, car, or bicycle it is how movement is possible in the city. Not only is way of transportation quite noticeable, but also when to move and where to move to is very obvious. For instance, the traffic lights that stand on each many corners tell motorists as well as pedestrians when to move and when to stop. Not only are there traffic lights, but there are also street signs that do this as well such as stop signs. However, stop signs are'nt the only signs the fill the streets of Philadelphia there are also signs to point people into certain directions to make the flow of traffic go much smoother. These signs are usually one way signs pointing in the direction that motorist are allowed to go into. What else I saw on my adventure threw Philadelphia are the murals that line many city buildings. These murals take much effort and have a great impact on the community. While driving threw the Oloney section of Philadelphia I couldnt help but notice the beautiful mural along one of the buildings. Momentarily the mural makes one forget about the poverty that lingers threw out Oloney and almost makes the section beautiful again. There is much to see while walking threw the city such as the one thing that cant be missed and that is the sky scrappers that tower over ones head. These buildings are enormous that were built with great archetecture and skill. The buildings are just one from several elements that make this city who it is. Philadelphia is a great place and if people were to stop every once and a while they would appreciate it just a little bit better.
