Inside Hidden City Philadelphia
ListenGUESTS: THADDEUS SQUIRE, LEE TUSMAN & PETER WOODALL
The creative team behind Hidden City Philadelphia wants to change the way Philadelphians look at their city. For the last two years the architectural heritage organization has been scouring the city’s architectural gems – some vacant and falling apart, some private institutions hiding ornate interiors, but all a part of the cityscape many of us pass every day. Today we’ll celebrate the nine sites featured in the Hidden City Philadelphia 2013 Festival. Our guests are three members of Hidden City Philadelphia: Founder, THADDEUS SQUIRE, Creative Director LEE TUSMAN and Outreach Director, PETER WOODALL. The festival runs through June 30th.
