Right next to Pat's is a large park dominated by a baseball diamond. Since a fence was in the day, I tried to zoom through the links the best that I could. The end result was almost artistic, a look at a city that has had as many historic ties to dominating financial structures and Federalism as it has to religious liberty and progressive democracy. Here we look from the working class neighborhood around Pat's, through a fence, higher up into intermediate businesses, all past floodlights meant to illuminate a baseball diamond, and finally resting in a city above all that, one of corporate finance and upper management. Meanwhile, next to the fence, all members from all layers were chowing down on the same steak sandwiches.
Lots of potential social commentary in one convenience-oriented photo...
Anyway, you decide what it means. I was thoughtful at the time, but still largely conquered by lunch. This is south of the city center looking north; colonial Philadelphia, including the original banks and exchanges which steered the city in this landscape direction, would be to the right of those tall buildings.
