The Atlantic Cities highlighted the local blog
Streets Dept
and their images of the abandoned Spring Garden subway station. The space is now covered with street art. Check out the amazing pictures.
Riders can still get a glimpse of the old station, dimly lit and covered in graffiti, as their trains pass between Fairmount and Chinatown stations. Recently, local photographers Austin Hodges and Meredith Edlow joined Conrad Benner (who runs Philadelphia blog
Streets Dept
) to check out the former station as well as the portion of neighboring Fairmount station no longer in use.
Proclaimed by Benner on his site as a "
mecca for graffiti artists and urban explorers alike
," the former station was easy to find since it remains visible for SEPTA riders. "We had to walk on the tracks past a station being used," says Hodges. "Other than that it was fine."
