About Broad Street
If you are planning a trip to Philadelphia, one of the America's most historic cities, you'll want to plan an excursion to Broad Street. Thirteen miles long, Broad Street is one of Philly's major thoroughfares. The Broad Street Line subway -- operated by SEPTA, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority -- runs the length of the street underground. You'll recognize this line by its orange subway cars. The subway originates in Fern Rock and goes through Center City to Pattison Avenue.
The area of Broad Street between Market and Spruce Streets is referred to as "The Avenue of the Arts." In this neighborhood, you'll be able to experience Philadelphia culture at spots like the Academy of Music, the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, Wilma Theater, the Merriam Theater, University of the Arts Gershman Hall, the Suzanne Roberts Theater and several art galleries. You'll know when you get to the Avenue of the Arts because it is lined with streetlights in the shape of "AA."
Near Broad Street's south end is the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, home to Citizens Bank Park, the Wells Fargo Center and Lincoln Financial Field. The Philadelphia Flyers used to play in this area, which is why they are known as "The Broad Street Bullies." When Philly is lucky enough to win a sports championship, the parade usually takes place on Broad Street. In 2008, the Phillies won the World Series and about 2 million people came out to celebrate on Broad Street.
South of the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, Broad Street terminates at the former Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. Just north of City Hall, you'll find the offices of two well-known newspapers: The Philadelphia Inquirer and the Philadelphia Daily News. If you're interested in visiting the historic Divine Lorraine Hotel -- though it is now closed -- it's located at the intersection of North Broad and Fairmount Street. North of that is the campus of Temple University.
Although Broad Street is one of the busiest streets in the U.S., it is closed down every year for the 10-mile Broad Street Run. Also, one section of Broad Street, from Marconi Plaza to City Hall, is the location for the Mummers Parade, which takes place every year on New Year's Day and is a favorite of many locals.
If you want to brush up on your geography, be sure to visit the "Avenue of the States" -- Washington Avenue to Oregon Avenue. You'll see the flags for all 50 states on this patriotic section of Broad Street.
