Walking Philadelphia: 30 Walking Tours Exploring Art, Architecture, History, and Little-Known Gems Tapa blanda - 2017

Freelance journalist Natalie Pompilio lives and writes in a house on an alley off an alley in South Philadelphia. A former staff writer with The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Philadelphia Daily News, she loves hearing and telling stories. Her idea of a perfect night is sitting on her roof deck at dusk with her husband, Jordan Barnett, their two cats, and a bottle of wine while watching the chimney swifts emerge for their nightly dance. This is her third book featuring Philadelphia. More Philadelphia Murals and the Stories They Tell, with coauthors Jane Golden and Robin Race, was released by Temple University Press in 2006. She partnered with New Orleans photographer Jennifer Zdon to self-publish the children's alphabet book Philadelphia A to Z in 2010. Tricia Pompilio is a lifestyle and portrait photographer based in Philadelphia. After 15 years in television, she decided to focus on her children and her photography. When she's not following her husband, Vince Savarese, and their three daughters--Fiona, Luna, and Poppy--with a camera, she's probably re-reading Harry Potter 1-7 with her two black cats while Rob Thomas sings softly in the background.
