Note the
huge mural
painted on the ground in Eakins Oval.
When I was scouting the march route on Friday, I talked to local
Philly artist Saladeen of King SaLADeEN Artworks and Nathaniel of
Mural Arts Philly.
It's fenced off since there's wet paint on the whole parking area.
A huge mural for a year, before the next annual mural gets
painted (13 years so far).
A very colorful Teddy Bear playing basketball.
Looks great!
Their grand opening is at a festival next weekend, with food,
music, etc.
Check it out!
Should be a great time!
But, bad timing for the No Kings rally.
Took a huge chunk out of our parade route and rally area at the
base of the Rocky Steps.
People cooperated -- no one hopped the fence and walked on the paint.
