Elliott is still obsessed with fire engines. His idea of a good time is a walking tour taking in every fire station (or, fire house, as they are known here) in Center City. Add in construction site pit stops at 11th and Walnut (Jefferson campus refurb, diggers) 17th and Spruce (apartment block, huge crane and cement mixers), 18th and Sansom (more apartments, another crane), Rittenhouse Square (garden keeper's cottage upgrade, mini dozer), Philadelphia Museum of Art grounds (new underground carpark, assorted diggers and dozers) and the Barnes Foundation project (juvenile detention centre making way for another art museum, all manner of heavy-duty demolition equipment) and you have Elliott's idea of the perfect outing.
