Rittenhouse Spring Festival Observation

This observation is from Saturday May 3rd. The location was in Center City Philadelphia along Walnut Street in an area called Rittenhouse. There was a spring festival and they had blocked off Walnut Street for 5 blocks. Most everyone was walking at the festival except for two police officers on segways. There were also people pushing bicycles which looked very cumbersome amongst the crowd. Others were pushing strollers which also appeared cumbersome. It was hard to tell if most of the people at the festival were from Center City or the suburbs. I walked to the festival and a short distance from Walnut the city appeared normal and I did not see signs of traffic or congestion. Many people were also carrying bags of items they purchased and/or food from the many vendors.

The photos are in the slideshow.
