I recently returned from Central America and went straight to Philly to spend time with MC. It was a lovely month long visit to a city I had not been in since I was about twelve-years-old. With so much history that the city has to offer, you might wonder why this isn’t a post about the Liberty Bell. Let’s just say that I have decided to leave that for others for the time being. With the state of the nation these days I decided that I would concentrate on the vibrant street art of the city which gives Philly it’s own beat and brings color to a word that seems to be somewhat void of that these days. I have no idea who most of these talented artists are but I confess I am in awe. I can’t even draw something legible on a (peace) of paper much less an entire building with correct proportions! So here are a few of my favorites with a special surprise at the end. Enjoy!
