The view from Philly's Left Bank
In the 18th century, it was a bucolic community called Blockley Township. Now, we know it as University City, a rich and diverse community that is a hub of transportation, education, research and medicine with an industrial legacy to boot. Photographer Dave Latakos, whose "A View from University City" is shown here, has created a photo-essay, "Neighborhood Contrasts--University City," that captures all the various architectural, institutional and human elements that give University City its character today.
