Thinking about the Janes Walk this year?

Due to the pandemic, the Philadelphia Janes Walk is unable to host in person walking tours, but in the spirit of Janes Walk, will be doing a digital project collecting "postcards" from Philadelphians all over the city. A digital map of submissions will be posted on the Janes Walk website later this month. Have a place you love and would like to share? Just fill in this simple form with a photo and a short description on what makes it special.
