Philadelphia Products: April 2010

http://phillyproducts.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

I love maps and I love Philadelphia's neighborhoods. The changing architecture, culture, and population as you move from block to block is what makes Philly such a unique and fun-to-walk city. My loves have been combined with the Philadelphia neighborhood map. Their exact boundaries and names might be the subject of debate, but it's a nice design and it captures the city well. Plus, Philly has a great and recognizable city shape, I've been seeing it used more and more to great design effect.
