  • Bicycle Parking: Key to a Green Philadelphia
    BICYCLE PARKING: KEY TO A GREEN PHILADELPHIA May 2008 Acknowledgements This report was written by Sarah Clark Stuart. The report relied on the assistance of many Bicycle Coalition volunteers who contributed their time and effort (many did this in cold weather) to count bike racks and take pictures, including Chuck Aronson, Tom Benson, John Boyle, Susan Dannenberg, Luke Elrath, Michael Grabish , Jeffery Hartman, Darren Linkin, Gary Kaplan, Michael McGettigan, Russell Meddin, Jill Minick, Ray Scheinfeld, and Chris Witt. Alex Doty contributed editorial assistance and John Boyle was the go‐to guy on everything from facts and figures to great photos and google‐map wizardry. David Perri of the Streets Department and Tom Branigan, formerly of the Streets Department, also provided helpful advice and information. All inadvertent mistakes and errors are the author’s responsibility. All photos taken by Sarah Clark Stuart, unless otherwise indicated.

Bicycle Parking: Key to a Green Philadelphia Executive Summary Philadelphia’s path to becoming the next great sustainable and green city needs to include stocking up on more and better bicycle parking. In all parts of the City, there is a bicycle parking shortage. More bike parking is essential to encourage more people to use bikes for short trips to get to work and shopping, entertainment and cultural destinations. The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia conducted an assessment of bicycle parking at major destinations and corridors in Philadelphia to ascertain the quantity and quality of bicycle parking and to make recommendations.

    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY Sarah Butler Wister's Civil War Diary at ARAH BUTLER WISTER was born May 28, 1835, Butler Place. She was the older daughter of Fanny Kemble, the S renowned English actress, and Pierce Butler. At the time of her birth Butler Place, bought by her great-grandfather in I8IO3 was a farm with a rather unimpressive, middle-sized, owner's dwelling, but with splendid barns and outbuildings. The site, six miles north of Philadelphia's City Hall, at the end of Broad Street, is today filled by small row houses. Sarah's mother had come to America from London in 1832 with her father, Charles Kemble. They were of the third and fourth generations of the famous Kemble theatrical family. The Kembles toured the eastern seaboard, acting together, and it was in Phila- delphia that Pierce Butler was introduced to Fanny. They were married in Christ Church on June 7, 1834. The marriage was un- happy from the start, and, under extremely harsh circumstances, Fanny left her family in March 1845 to return to England, where she built a second career as a superb reader of Shakespeare. Appear- ing both in England and America, she supported herself for twenty years. In 1863 she published The Journal of a Residence on a Qeorgian Plantations in which she declared her abhorrence of slavery. This book gave her a lasting reputation as an abolitionist and as a writer. 271 272 FANNY KEMBLE WISTER July Sarah's father was born Pierce Butler Mease, son of Dr. and Mrs.

CENTRAL LIBRARY HABS NO. PA-6749 Location: 1901Vine Street, bounded by 19xth , 20>thUi and Wood Streets, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. The library faces south onto Logan Circle and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway that runs at a diagonal from Vine Street. Owner: The library is part of the Free Library of Philadelphia system and is owned by the City of Philadelphia. Present Use: Central library Significance: The Central Library, built between 1917 and 1927, was designed by well-known architect Horace Trumbauer and his associate Julian Abele and it is the flagship of the Philadelphia Free Library system. Favoring French architecture of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, they based their design on the twin Ministere de la Marine and Hotel de Crillon on Place de la Concorde in Paris. The library was the first structure to be erected along the city's new parkway, which was likewise inspired by Parisian precedents, namely the Champs d'Elysee. It too was the work of Horace Trumbauer, with architects Paul Cret, Clarence Zantzinger, and French planner Jacques Greber. Intended as a grand boulevard linking City Hall to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Fairmount Park, it was later named for Benjamin Franklin. The parkway and the civic structures and monuments that line it were a product of Philadelphia's City Beautiful movement.

Parkway 100 is the city’s 14-month celebration taking place both inside the venerable institutions that line the thoroughfare and outside among its fountains, gardens and public art. It ends November 16, 2018. The diagonal Benjamin Franklin Parkway stretches one mile from near City Hall to the Philadelphia Museum of Art at the edge of Fairmount Park. Planner Paul Philippe Cret and designer Jacques Gréber modeled the thoroughfare after the Champs-Élysées of their native country. After a long, drawn-out planning and construction process, it officially opened in October 1918. The arduous yet bold vision ushered in a new era of urban design in America: the City Beautiful Movement. For the last century, the attractions, green spaces and public art of the Parkway Museums District have captivated residents and visitors. The buildings on the Parkway’s borders are a who’s-who of culture, and the stretch is street-party central, with massive events such as the Fourth of July concert, Budweiser Made In America Festival and Thanksgiving Day Parade taking place throughout the year.

  • ^Aspects of Italian Immigration to Philadelphia
    ^Aspects of Italian Immigration to Philadelphia HOLE "\T 7 STREETS formerly occupied by Irish-American \/\/ families have become populated by Italians," noted an * • Irish priest of South Philadelphia in the ISCJO'S.1 A hous- ing investigator studied the new community: "The black-eyed chil- dren rolling and tumbling together, the gaily colored dresses of the women, and the crowds of street vendors all give this neighborhood a wholly foreign appearance," she wrote.2 Because the newcomers included no historians and because few Philadelphians paid them any heed, the story of the Italian immigration to Philadelphia and the growth of the Italian-American colony from a handful of people in the colonial period to upwards of half a million Italian-Americans today has yet to be told. Why did the Italians come here? What were they leaving? What did they seek? What skills, attitudes, and contributions did they bring to the city? How were they received? So long have these ques- tions gone unanswered and so complex are they that only a partial answer can be provided. The nineteenth-century histories of Phila- delphia did not concern themselves with these immigrants; the immi- grants themselves produced few journalists, and, if there were diarists, their diaries have yet to be discovered. Little exists to record what was a great wave of humanity. In the colonial era only a few Italians trickled into Philadelphia. Most of them, particularly the priests, the sailors, and the intellec- tuals, were from northern Italy; a few musicians came from southern Italy. By 1850 it is likely that there were about 200 Italians in the city—artists, singers, and political dissidents.
