UPENN Students Bridge Jumping

Yesterday, April 24th 2009, I was walking on the Schuylkill River Trail with my cousin and friend. We were thinking about walking to the Penn Relays which were going on that day but decided to just stop by the river and relax. Little did we know, it was also Hey Day for University of Pennsylvania Students.

“Hey Day” is a tradition for students to mark the advancement of each class.

These particular students were celebrating their Hey Day, or moving up to the next class year, by jumping off of the Walnut St. bridge into the murky, dirty, infested (with what no one knows) Schuylkill River.

Purple Door

I’ve never seen the address located under the mail slot. Usually it’s at eye level. Also, purple door. :)
