Reader Reviews
I am living abroad and will be moving the Philadelphia in a few months. I'm currently looking for both jobs and apartments as well as trying to get a feel for the city before my wife and I arrive. This map looked like a great choice. Unfortunately, it was not. The map has several parts, including a very large scale highway map, but what I was looking for was a "streets of Philly" map, and judging from the name of this map, that's what I thought I was getting. However, according to this map, Philadelphia consists only of what's between South Street and Fairmont Ave, between UPenn campus and the river. Forget West Philly or North Philly, forget Germantown/Mt. Airy (an area where I am specifically interested in living), forget Temple University or Fishtown/Northern Liberties/Kensington, forget Queen Village/Bella Vista/Passyunk Square - these major areas of the city are either completely missing or cut off after a few streets. I mean, there's an arrow mark on the map that says "Italian Market, 2 Blocks South"! The Italian Market is a fixture of South Philly, and it's not even on this map! If I lived in the US now I'd be sending this map back. As it is, it would cost me as much in postage as I paid for it, so instead I'm using it as a bookmark for Anderson's "The Code of the Street" (btw, Germantown Avenue, which figures largely in Anderson's book, is also missing from this map). After that... maybe I'll iron the map into an interesting placemat. I mean, it is well laminated. (And that's about the best I can say for this waste of $7.00 plus shipping to Japan.) Rather than take a chance on another sight-unseen map, I'm just printing off Google's map pages and taping them together. If you are looking for a map of Philadelphia and thinking about this one, look elsewhere.
