Love Park, officially known as John F. Kennedy Plaza, is a plaza located in Center City. The park is nicknamed Love Park for its reproduction of Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture which overlooks the plaza.
 

 

Reading Terminal Market is located at 12th and Arch Streets in Center City. It opened in 1893 under the elevated train shed of the Reading Railroad Company. The Reading Railroad Company owned and operated the market space until 1976 when the company liquidated. Presently, it still occupies the ground floor and basement levels of the Reading Terminal's former train shed which is now part of the Philadelphia Convention Center. Over one hundred merchants' stalls occupy the ground floor with entrances on Filbert Street to the South, Twelfth Street to the West, and Arch Street to the North. Two of the vendors are descendants of original merchants from the initial opening in the late 1800s.
