That's taking it a bit far, I think. Philadelphia has a traditional, gridded street pattern, with generally narrow streets and small curb radii, except for the far northeast. Consider how pedestrian-unfriendly Pheonix, Houston, Dallas, and various other cities of the south and west are -- pedestrians are often banned from walking the streets altogether in order to "solve" the problem of pedestrian safety. > Thanks, > > John Ellingsworth > Virtual Curriculum > Project Leader > > AIM: jellings28 > - ----- Original Message ----- > From: Mayer, Ann > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 11:28 AM > Subject: FW: drivers going the wrong way > > > > > Has anyone had the same experience that I have had in West > Philadelphia over the > last months with numerous cars coming the WRONG way on our one way > streets? > This baffles me.

Now what is history? It is the centuries of systematic explorations of the riddle of death, with a view to overcoming death.
