Two points:

  • Is there a Glenwood Avenue in Center City? In all the time I've spent there I've never run into one, not anywhere near City Hall, certainly.
  • "Avenue of the Arts" refers as much to South Broad Street itself as it does to a section of CC, and this should be noted in the intro. to avoid confusion.

To (partially) answer my own question: This page is based on the definition given by Avenue of the Arts, Inc. (here), according to which the district extends north of City Hall (all the way to Temple, in fact) as well as south. I'm not sure if this fits neatly with popular interpretation of "Avenue of the Arts," but there it is. I still don't see Temple as part of Center City, but who knows, they're changing the boundaries all the time anymore... --18:24, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Yeah i never did understand why they did that, with the exception of PAFA, they really have nothing to do with anything north of City Hall, though some of that has to do with the the convention center expansion i guess. Any way most people when they think of the Ave on the arts, or at least me, would say it's South Broad, from City Hall to South. If you can think of a better working for the intro though, go for it. As for Glenwood Ave, their is one in the city, but the one i am awre of is no where near CC, it runs parrell to the NEC/Amtrak from 32nd in Brewerytown to about 2nd in West Kensignton area --Boothy443 | trácht ar 08:20, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Glenwood Ave crosses N. Broad St on the diagonal, just above Lehigh Ave. I agree that the density of arts institutions is heaviest from Market to South, but there's plenty of stuff to do above Market: from the Fabric Workshop to the Doll Museum.WashWest 20:41, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
