Washington Square West

Philadelphia

The Theatre of Life - one of my favorite murals in Philly! Mural Arts Philadelphia is the nation's largest public art program and has helped Philadelphia earn the title the "City of  Murals."
My absolute favorite mural in Philly! Look up the Mural Mile online and go in a self-guided walking tour of some of Philly's most popular murals in Center City.
City streets of Philadelphia
Beautiful, building-sized mural near downtown Philadelphia at S Broad and Lombard Streets. This work of art is called "Theater of Life" and was created by Meg Saligman in 2002. It's part of Philly's Mural Arts Program. There are many around the city. Makes a great self-guided walking tour.

One word: Bedbugs. (There was also a dead cockroach in hallway, but the bedbugs were the dominant factor. I'm terrified some eggs will stick to my clothes and infect my home....will need to undress in the garage and go straight to washing machine!)
