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.
