Greening America's City

I have to admit, when I first saw this I was blown away by the rendering and ignored the article. Someone at Phillywatersheds.org had a field day with PhotoShop, and with my neighborhood as the subject, I loved it.

When I got past the rendering and read the artical I was even more shocked. Back in June, Philadelphia approved the Green City, Clean Water program, that will put $2B into improving our environmental infrastructure. South Philadelphia has even become home to our first pourous street, which literally absorbs water instead of requiring it to be funneled into outdated and often clogged storm drains.
