“These images are the rarest I've ever taken in Philadelphia,” Popp wrote.

As pedestrians and cyclists took to the streets last weekend during the papal visit, Cory Popp did what he does best and filmed the whole city in all its car-less glory.
An “urbanist utopia” indeed.
“These images are the rarest I’ve ever taken in Philadelphia,” Popp wrote.
