On a cold winter January, I decided to explore the outskirts of Camden along Broadway Turnpike. Broadway is a major artery of Camden and at one time every important building, organization and government outpost could be found on this road. What I saw were crack houses, litter-strewn lots and remains of once glorious buildings. I did love the 1905 Coca Cola advertisement painted on the side of a brick building. How it has survived for 105 years is amazing. There was also a 19th century church, various art work, a war memorial long forgotten and scags of cornerstones. And so, without further ado, here is a list of my seven waymarks, in descending category order.

04. 1886 - Sacred Heart Church - Camden, NJ
