Philadelphia Zoo : Mapping Chestnut Street

When given the task of mapping a street in Philadelphia, with a general theme, I debated between focusing on Filthadelphia or animals in a big  city. I thought that trying to find signs of animals on every block would possibly be more of an interesting challenge, and considering the fantastic weather, I figured it would be a better opportunity to find animals. Throughout my journey I noticed that there were less and less actual live animals as I went west, as I relied heavily on the abundance of Valentine’s day displays. This is the one time in my life I was relieved to find so many decorations for the holiday of commercial love.
So, although people may say that there aren’t many animals in Philadelphia, I tried to prove different.
