Well, the thing is that my wife got offered a job position in Philadelphia, not in the city but pretty close, so we moved from Venezuela all the way up here.

These were taken 2 days ago, on my first trip to Philadelphia, so I might update this thread eventually with newer pictures.

heres the google earth location:

The main entrance on Broad Street

looking at the side entrance on Spruce St.

The main entrance, above the marquee (or canopy, not sure what word) theres a cafe terrace.

Inside , the whole space in here its called the COMMONWEALTH PLAZA, heres looking at the box offices.

The same location looking towards the main entrance and above.

same but looking up

same location but looking up towards the Perelman Theater, its a 650 seats multi-use theater, on top of it its the Hamilton Roof Garden. You can see also the Society of Founder's Wall.

Again, same place but slighty to the right, thats the Verizon Hall, its a 2,547 concert hall, outside its Makore wood, inside resembles a violin in shape (check Vinolys site)

This is by the Perelman Theater, in the ramp towards the elevators, looking at the Plaza, the Verizon Hall and the bridges.

All the upcoming pictures are taken in the top level, above the Perelman theater, its called the Hamilton Roof Garden, the following are all looking towards the Verizon Hall (western side)

same place

same place, but looking to the east side (entrance)

same, I guess those are ventilation pipes from below.

same location

looking down towards the plaza

same place, more towards the entrance, you see the box office in the ground floor and the cafe on the top balcony

Looking to the north

same

This is looking towards the outside elevators, they're in also made in panoramic glass, so you can see the city when going up.

A closer look to the bridge connecting the elevators and the inside

last one for now, a closer look to the structure.

I happen to be in Philly now and have just come back from a late night visit to the Kimmel, it's stunning, yet simple, deceivingly so.

The new constitution center is also interesting, I'll post some of the few photos I took later.

I wish you the best at your new position, hoping you promptly see the fruit of your efforts, labours and sacrifices.

Take care

Saludos
