Yeah, almost as bad as the residential neighborhoods in Calcutta, India.

It is - near Five Points, the intersection with Rising Sun and Oxford Avenues.

Vivid colors and the mess of government poe wire placements caught. When a new area of land opens up in Mexico for free settlement it looks like this x 500.

I think the ugly, shoddy wire mess has more to do with the privatization of the utility companies. Updating the infrastructure (for example, placing the wires underground where they ought to be) would cut too much into these companies' profits, so they simply leave it as it is.

Philly does have an unmistakable look to it.

I would have to slow down just to make sense of it!
