NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH: Old City

POSTED: Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 5:24 PM

Every Wednesday, Critical Mass pops into a neighborhood and finds its most stylish residents.

This week I took a step out into City Paper's backyard, between Second and Third and Market and Chestnut streets, in search of fashionable Philadelphians. As the temperature dropped, I found these Old City dwellers accessorizing with colorful scarves, tights and hats. This first stylish dude, David B., made his own jewelry with recycled forks and a finger cymbal called a 'zill.'

David B., 37, artist/musician

Favorite Way to Accessorize: "Jewelry made from recycled items such as forks and finger cymbals."
