With game six of the World Series coming up tonight, I have the City of Brotherly Love on the mind more than ever. I continue to be amazed and inspired by the Steve Powers Love Letter mural arts project in West Philadelphia. With each trip I take, I enjoy watching the skyline of the area change, enhancing the landscape that is already there. Run down, aging signs from businesses shuttered up years before are now brought back to life by the fresh & vibrant murals that still continue to appear along walls, roof tops, and billboards.

Also appearing shortly, is A Love Letter for You: Love in Transit, a book documenting the creation of the Love Letter series. Though the Gingko Press page for the book does not say as much, I can only assume that the book will feature the photography of the very talented Zoe Strauss, who has been documenting this project since its inception.

God I want a pretzel.
