Market Street

To start the day I decide to work the 6.6KM to the Eastern State Prison, walking down market street along Benjamin Franklin Parkway (to the Rocky Steps) and then turning back towards the prison.

• Reading Terminal, beautiful old train station terminus used up to 1984, which is now a corner shop and Hard Rock Cafe.
• City Hall
• Masonic Temple (I think it’s their HQ but don’t quote me).
• Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul
• Museum Quarter
