I took a power chair to the gathering this year so had better range than with my usual manual chair. I stayed in Chinatown, a half-mile from the Jefferson station and around a mile from 30th Street station. I'm lousy at transit (I think it is a learned skill) so just took surface streets each morning and evening. Philadelphia is a great place to visit without a car and I wish I'd planned another few days.
The art deco 30th Street Station is on the list of historic places. One of numerous art pieces is the "Angel of Resurrection" installed by PRR to honor their employees who died in WWII. The angel holds a fallen solder in his arms. The names of the employees are engraved on the base.
The city also has tall ships,
museums (Rodin Museum was just across he river from the train station),
city hall with public restrooms that stayed open late and plazas both outside and in the middle,
a Day of the Dead figure remembering a man (photo on her pocket),
great seating (this is outside the train station),
statues all over the place (George Washington and Ben Franklin were both Masons),
and a carousel in the park featuring Philadelphia Style carved animals.
