Doors and "Stuff" - the final Philly post

For my final blog post I will show some of my favorite door pictures and a few other miscellaneous picts that haven’t “fit” into any of the other post themes...

As per my fetish for doors, my favorite pic is this one of two doors right next to each other, but in contrasting conditions!

Eastern State Penitentiary

Just a few blocks away from the Philadelphia Museum of Art - and all its beauty - is the extreme opposite: the darkness and fear of the historic State Penitentiary. Billed as a revolutionary institution in many ways when it was built in the early 1800s, it was finally shut down in 1971. Through the decades it housed many thousands of criminals... among them were Al Capone - and these two characters: Hannah and Sarah Bjornstad (partners in crime! haha!)
