This is my first time in Philadelphia and I already love what I’m seeing. I’m staying at Curtis Institute of Music for the next two weeks. I had a chance to walk around the narrow and busy streets surrounding the area. You can often hear sirens while you walking through the area, more common than I’m used to in Chicago. Though the pace seems a little busy, I have yet to feel like I’m in a crowded city, then again, it is the weekend.
