I spent the weekend in Philadelphia visiting my cousin... She took me over to visit the Eastern State Penitentiary, and I snapped these shots. ;)

Excellent shots Tommy, I am enjoying all of them.

So is this prison like a tourist place or museum type thing now? I wouldn't have wondered except for Capone's cell.

Great series!

Yeah... the penitentiary was shut down in 1971 and is now a tourist attraction...

Here's the info... it's really cool... and they actually run a haunted house in there during the Halloween season... It's actually ranked #1 haunted house in America right now...

Here's their website

Good work. Capone's cell reminds me of Martha Stuart's cell.
