The Girard Bank helicopter, leaving it's headquarters on South Penn Square, just across from City Hall.

Photo was taken in 1979. The building later became One Meridian Plaza, site of one of the worst high-rise fires in the U.S. I had worked here after the fire. As tragic as it was that three firefighters died, it could have been much worse, the loss of life. The building is now gone, replaced by the Ritz Carlton condominiums.

Center City, east of 12th Street. Another photo from 1979. If you look closely, you can see the track heading into Reading Terminal. This area has been redeveloped since the photo was taken, much has changed, with Reading Terminal now part of the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

From City Hall Tower, 1979. Way in the distance is Veterans Stadium, former home of the Philadelphia Phillies. The stadium has since been replaced by Citizens Bank Park.

Taken from the Hyatt at Penn's Landing. HDR image.

Since I've taken this photo, the prison on the Camden, NJ side, just under the bridge, has been demolished.
