24Hrs: Philadephia, our first interactive experiment blending psychogeography, sight-seeing and exploration, was a success!

On August 18, our three guides – Scott Gabriel Knowles, Calvin Johnson, and Kurt Braunohler – and 20 fellow travelers experienced Philadelphia for 24 straight hours with the goal of capturing the dynamics of the city and discovering what people do and when they do it. We had five people stick it out for the entire 24 hours and another 12 who were there for 20 out of 24 hours, with a peak crowd of 20 people around 4 a.m.

We explored the underground holding cells at Fort Miflin, walked to the city boundaries on City Avenue, played at Pretzel Park in Manayunk, had some drinks in South Philly, made TastyKake castles on Penn's Landing, napped on benches in Rittenhouse Square and picnicked at the future site of Philadelphia's skatepark ... and all in 24 hours! Be sure to check out our schedule for a detailed account of our whereabounts and then flip through our photo album, read some spur-of-the-moment poetry and watch some live footage.

Our first 24Hrrs was quite the adventure ... and now we want to come explore your city! You might think you know everything there is to know about your city, but wait 'til you experience it through the eyes of a 24 hour roadtrip ... send us your city suggestions to 24@americancity.org. We're waiting to hear from you!
