I'm having a hard time even visualizing those pictures

JFK is pretty much nothing at this point and looking west it's even harder to figure out .... that must be standing pretty much at 30th street station given the depth of the photo ...... that would have to be the armory at the very end of the western view .... that would be an amazing transformation and fill in

On a similar note the 2nd photo trips me out, because that was pretty much firestone and a small bank with a great view of the long gone "drexel shaft"

Campus pretty much died as you'd cut down to 32nd & market as far as the connection to the north of market portion of the school - it was like a quick, harsh change that didn't really feel like it fit into anything

Would be absolutely amazing and i really wouldn't be exagerating that I wouldn't even recongize it anymore

Haha I agree with Finger Laker then, "I'm having a hard time even visualizing those pictures"
