Small street joy in Manayunk. 💙

North Philly looking colorful!

Some mid century style in Bala Cynwyd, in the Philly suburbs.

Infrastructure can be beautiful! Check out the lovely design on Septa’s Cynwyd Line bridge (dating from 1918 according to the plaque on it). #philly

A version of a Philly rowhouse that I had not seen before - interesting roofline and modest ornamentation. In West Philly/Wynnefield, in an area developed in the early 20th century. #phillyarchitecture

Philly is known as a city of murals - here’s one in North Philly, depicting Haitian general Toussaint Louverture (1743-1803). He was born into enslavement and later became the leader of the largest and most successful slave rebellion in world history. Artist is Claes Gabriel.
