Philly neighborhood sampler

I recently finished this cross stitch sampler of some of the parts of town, although I have yet to get it framed.

I wanted to try to get some of my favorite named places in,  but I also had to consider ones that fit my design. That's how Olney made the cut. 

Also, I had to learn a few things. For instance, Old City is not spelled "olde".  And that there is such a place called Strawberry Mansion.

I'd really like to make another two samplers like this, in slightly different colorways, showcasing other sections of town.  Then I could display them a triptych. How cool would that be?
