Dilworth Park

This guide to Dilworth Park in Philadelphia starts at one in the morning in late November 2011, when riot police moved in to clear the plaza outside city hall. It goes back through the eight weeks before that, when Occupy Philadelphia held this ground with a camp of roughly two hundred thirty tents, kept swelling less by politics than by a free kitchen feeding anyone who showed up hungry. Scores of homeless Philadelphians moved in for the food, turning this cold civic plaza into the best-fed square in the city for a few weeks that fall.
