North Beach, San Francisco
If you know anything about Philadelphia, then you know that outside of touristy/commercial Center City and Old City, the gentrified areas of West and South Philly, and the more residential areas of Chestnut Hill and Mannyunk, there’s a huge urban blight problem; abandoned, or simply run-down buildings are almost as prevalent as Eagles jerseys and Phillies hats. So when I read about former street artist (I know there’s controversy about this term, but bear with me) Stephen Powers’ A Love Letter For You wall mural campaign, several months ago, I was intrigued.

Kinda dark, 100% rad. I love sidewalk art.
Now that there seem to be more tourists than actual residents roaming the streets of San Francisco, I like to think this gives me an excuse to wander around taking pictures of cool things. Hey, if everybody else is doing it…
