After a few excruciating hours of filling in areas of the city where
neighborhoods don’t exist I created the following map. Now I’m very well aware of the fact that
there are neighborhoods within neighborhoods in Philadelphia. I’m sure there
are areas of South Philly that are such microcosms that a neighborhood consists
of three Italian grandmothers’ rowhouses.
I’m not interested in trying to
figure out if I’ve biked down that street.
However the neighborhood shapefile that I found had some strange
boundaries, so if there are any GLARING mistakes, please let me know.
In the near future I’m hoping to add a few pages to this blog: an
introduction to Philly, a running tally of neighborhoods and municipalities that
I’ve biked through, and maybe a more extensive stat page on my statistics. The last is a long shot – I still have to
find a paying job.
