Merchants’ Exchange Building 5. First Bank of the United States 6. Carpenter’s Hall 7. Second Bank of the United States 8. Independence Hall 9. The Liberty Bell 10. Presidents’ House Site 1. Society Hill Towers - During the Colonial era, this section of Philadelphia was referred to as "Society's Hill." The name was derived from the Free Society of Traders, an early form of stock exchange, which had offices and warehouses on nearby Front Street. The area had always been a commercial district. Just prior to the Towers' development, it was the site of the main wholesale fruit and produce center for the city of Philadelphia. In the late 1950s, Society Hill was targeted for restoration by the Philadelphia City Planning Commission, in cooperation with the Redevelopment Authority. Part of the restoration included the construction of Society Hill Towers and a group of adjacent town houses, all designed by architect I. M. Pei. The project earned the Progressive Architecture Award for Design, in 1961. The buildings were completed in 1963. They are currently condominiums. (http://www.societyhilltowers.com/) 2. Dock Street - Within the old incorporated city of Philadelphia — the city proper as it was once called — every street is laid out at right angles with another except one. This is Dock Street, which takes a curving or irregular course, from southeast to northwest, between the vicinity of Spruce Street and comes to an end at Third Street, in front of the old Bank of the United States.

    September 20, 2010 The Honorable Harry Reid The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker of the House United States Senate U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable John A. Boehner Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Senator Reid, Senator McConnell, Madam Speaker and Mr. Boehner, As members of Building America’s Future, we write to urge action by the House and Senate on legislation that will create a National Infrastructure Bank to help our cities and states find additional methods of financing for projects of regional and national significance. President Obama reiterated his support for this idea on September 6, 2010 and we applaud that announcement. As you may know, the U.S. Conference of Mayors recently endorsed this concept for its potential to correct the dire state of disrepair in which we find our nation’s infrastructure – our roads, bridges, transit systems, drinking and waste water systems and our broadband network. The House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Select Revenue Measures recently held a hearing during which Governor Ed Rendell (D-PA) and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D-Los Angeles) testified about the need for a new entity to focus our nation’s investment power around key projects of regional and national significance. Congress has failed to pass a six-year transportation bill and, as a result, there is no national vision as to how we will plan for the next decade and more. The economic challenges we still face are all the more reason for us to look to the future and find new ways to create jobs, rebuild our decaying infrastructure, improve our quality of life, increase safety and keep our nation economically competitive.

  • Infrastructural Gigantic
    Under Philadelphia 50 Chapter 4 Under Philadelphia, Infrastructural Gigantic Below the streets of Philadelphia and normally invisible to those above lies a maze of utility lines, trolley tracks, sewers, privies and buried foundation walls unseparated by archaeological strata. In its working depths, Philadelphia’s underground realm, like all cities, collects past and present in a simultaneous history that recalls Sigmund Freud’s city of the psyche, a compressed Rome in which memory and myth are impossibly merged. Underground utility systems make simultaneous what in nature is dispersed, collecting almost elemental substances from sources far away into an unnatural proximity below the street: water, electricity, and natural gas.1 Their industrial history also is compressed below the pavement in networks of tunnels, pipes, and wires that are built continuously so old and new elements coexist. Philadelphia’s Department of Highways maintained maps of the underground but stopped revising in 1989 so entire systems such as cable TV are now unknowable to the public. A telephone number, prefaced with the request, “Call before you dig,” locates underground utilities through a computerized network, but maps are held by private utility companies as proprietary knowledge. Each utility maintains its own network and has its own manholes in the street for access, so Second Street at Headhouse Square, for example, is pockmarked with manhole covers (24 at one intersection) and often disrupted by utility work. The increasing complexity of infrastructure further obscures the urban underground so that it is not completely knowable even to workers. Lines under Headhouse link with invisible networks throughout the city and beyond, giving lie to discrete buildings within discrete property lines above.

  • A Coalition to Protect and Grow National Service
    A Coalition to Protect and Grow National Service Membership Overview About Voices for National Service PARTNERING TO PROTECT AND EXPAND NATIONAL SERVICE Voices for National Service is a coalition of national, state and local service organizations working together to build bipartisan support for national service, develop policies to expand and strengthen service opportunities for all Americans, and to ensure a robust federal investment in the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). Voices for National Service was founded in 2003 in the wake of a successful campaign to save AmeriCorps from sudden and significant proposed cuts. The national service field organized and launched a successful “Save AmeriCorps” campaign that ultimately restored--and in fact increased--federal funding for CNCS and AmeriCorps within one year. Following the successful 2003 Save AmeriCorps campaign, the national service community established Voices for National Service, a permanent field-based coalition dedicated to protecting and growing the federal investment in national service. City Year serves as the organizational and operational host of Voices for National Service and the coalition’s work is guided by a Steering Committee of CEOs of service organizations and leaders of state service commissions. The work of Voices for National Service is made possible through membership dues, philanthropic grants and gifts, and annual support from co- chairs and members of Voices for National Service’s Business Council and Champions Circle.

This document is our strategy to make Philadelphia one of the safest cities in America and to improve the well-being of our most important asset - our children. Improving our city's safety is a goal that we all share, and so I hope that, in this plan, you share our commitment and determination to rid Philadelphia of the violence that haunts our city and holds back many of our citizens. I have heard countless people say, "What is different here? We have tried again and again to solve this problem, and yet the violence continues." My answer is simple. Rather than tell us what we need to do to prevent youth violence in Philadelphia, this plan describes those outcomes on which we must concentrate.
