Following the Markers and the Wine


For the next few days I'm going to post photos of the markers embedded in the sidewalks (and some in walls) around downtown. This won't be the only thing I post about but I'm planning on posting one each day until I've been through them all in order. I got the idea last night while walking SFP and stopping to read markers 1, 2, 3, and 4 along Union. Then I discovered I could not find marker #5 and it nearly drove me crazy. I have a call in to the CCC to find out if they have a map of where all these are but until then I'm on my own. Anyway, we are learning a little bit about the cobblestones from marker #1 today at Wagner and Union.

Also, it's Ladies Day at the Corkscrew - 10% off all wine.

Hi Michelle, i tried to do this a couple of years ago and even made a google map of them. I never found them all and i could never find anyone at Centre City who knew much about them either.

Ian,
Thanks for the link to your map - I will print it out. I did get a map from the CCC today but it may have gaps yours can fill in for me. Stay tuned to see if I find them all - it seems to be quite the challenge!
