Spring into Spring Garden
Details
I've been wanting to put together a mural walk with this title for some time
now (though I still can't decide whether I think it's corny or clever :)). But
it's the first day of spring as I type this description, so I believe the moment
has finally arrived.
Spring Garden Street and the surrounding blocks have such a wealth of
murals that I think we'll need several installments to see and discuss them
all. Here's the itinerary for Part One, spanning from 5th to 7th Streets:
Spring Garden, 456 N 5th St
Elastic Geography, 500 Spring Garden St, Yards Brewing Company
Beatles and cityscape murals outside Color Reflections - Pennsylvania,
475 N 5th St
New mural in progress at the Alcott, 416 Spring Garden St (The artist is happy to talk with us!)
Through The Cracks In The Pavement, 717 N 5th St
Brotherly Love, 601 Spring Garden St
Wide Open, 600 Spring Garden St
Building America: German-American Immigration & Contributions to the New
World, 605 Spring Garden St
Edgar Allen Poe, 600 N 7th St
Primary Dispersion, 433 N 7th St
Electric Philadelphia, 6th St Underpass, 6th St & Wood St
Building Connections through Time, Pedestrian Tunnel, 5th St &
Benjamin Franklin Bridge
Those of us who still have the energy and availability after we discuss the
above can go out for food/drink in the area.
