The lion is pretty popular among the Philly doors. I haven't found a regal one yet, but this one will do.

People really love their dogs.
But really, aren't these knockers pretty great? Living in Philadelphia without a car (why do you even need one in the city, honestly) I walk pretty much everywhere with the occasional bus/el ride. This past summer I noticed that people really pride themselves on how their door looks from the street. I'm always looking for a new photographic adventure to go on and this was it. Most of these are in Olde City & Queen Village. Do you have cool knockers to show me? Email 'em to me.
