Agreed

Mr. Redd,

I can't see your first pic.

Pic 2 looks like West Philly. That design is typical and the trolley tracks give it away.

Pic 3 could be either one.

Pic 4 is definitely Baltimore. Rowhouses in Philly tend not to have yards.

Pic 5 is Baltimore. I don't recognize the building plus it looks too clean to be Philly.

Pic 6 is definitely Baltimore.

Pic 7 is Philly. Look how the curb is almost non-existent.

Pic 8 is Philly.
