Murals in the 20s, Saturday afternoon edition

To quote myself from the version of this walk that we'll first be doing on Thursday the 18th (posted right before this one),

One day, between a bus ride back from Ardmore and a walk up to Fairmount, I came across some very intriguing murals in the area New Yorkers would call "the 20s." Even if that label isn't geographically accurate, I figured at the time that scheduling our next mural walk on the 20th in the year 2025 would insured that the event title still worked. :)

I then explain why I decided to break out of that container I'd put all of us in and lead the additional version on the 18th before concluding with the thought that "both [events] can be followed by food and drink in the area with whoever is free and interested. We'll see how this experiment works!"

I should add here that, having taught two or three sections of the same college or graduate course in the same term, and for many terms, I've found the corresponding sessions to be rather different experiences due to the personalities and preferences of the people involved, not to mention the time of day.

Here's the itinerary as it stands right now (I'll literally walk through it and probably revise it):
Reach High and You Will Go Far, 1926 Arch Street (which is basically on 20th Street :))
Cloud in Your Teacup, 2000 Cuthbert Street
Point of Triangulation: Intersection of Identity, 21st Street at John F. Kennedy Blvd
Mapping Freire, 2110 Market Street
Parkway Daydreams, 2200 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy
Shadow of a Church (Restoration), 2205 Walnut Street
The Philadelphia Design Building (Restoration), 2300 Chestnut Street
Strength In Our Bonds, 2300 Market Street
The People’s Harvest, 60 N 23rd Street
River Field, 400-442 N 24th Street
The Tree of Life, 800 N 23rd Street
(These last two will probably be saved for a separate Fairmount mural walk, even in this case, when we don't have to contend with the setting sun. :))

On another note: If any of you are interested in attending the Tuesday "Nights of Co-creation" at renowned artist Meg Saligman's new studio at 225 Church Street (we talked about this at the last event), just show up (the times are 5:30-8:30 and sometimes later) or contact me at karenk19750@gmail.com or karena2220@yahoo.com for more information.
