I was in Philly for the day and all I needed to do was cross the street, but discovered that the Villanova Wildcats won the NCAA Championship and crossing the street wasn't a possibility. Yeah, you can tell, I'm not necessarily a fan and wasn't even aware that a victory parade was going on, but I took a few snaps to document the moment nonetheless.
Basketball fans will be happy to hear that there were a lot of people out and the streets were pretty buzzing with excitement. But mostly, I was hungry and needed to find a way out of the crowds.
There were some fun moments watching people. I think there may have been more men hawking t-shirts than cops. The one below was getting impatient with the woman, "Come on lady, I don't have time." he complained as she kept wanting to see every size.
Even at the expense of style and fashion, some shops got in on the act and draped mannequins with Villanova branding.
Then we turned around to find something to eat in the other direction.
