Naked in the streets of Philadelphia

Hundreds of carefree cyclists traversed Center City on Sunday for the 2nd Annual Philadelphia Naked Bike Ride. Many wore swimsuits, underwear, some women went topless, and others with carefully applied body paint.

Organizers hoped the event spotlighted the vulnerability of cyclists, to make drivers aware of the need to share the road.

Mural Mile auto tour in Philadelphia

FOR YEARS NOW, outdoor murals have been big in Philly - 30-by-35-feet big, on average, with the city's Mural Arts Program collection currently numbering a world-record 1,700 painted walls. On Wednesday, they became an even bigger deal as MAP introduced the new Mural Mile.

The mile is a guided walking tour that visits 17 Center City murals and features an audio accompaniment that's available via MP3 player, cell phone, live guide or a combination. Think of it as Philly's edgier, substantially more contemporary answer to Boston's Freedom Trail. Read more
