12th and Federal


A for intentions.
F for effort.

I don't know--that debris is so dense, so artfully casual I'd be willing to bet a lot of effort was put into it!

Oh, how I miss Philly and all of it's wonderment. Thanks for taking these gems.

I saw this on Lizzie's blog, and low and behold, I go to see your pics and find one of 12th and Federal Streets.

I had to share with you that I grew up right around the corner. I have some pictures I took years ago that would fit so well. I will have to find them and scan them in and post them on my blog.

I made my husband stop one day on the way home from visiting my mom, who lived on Juniper near 12th and Federal until a few years ago.

I snapped a great pic of the refinery in the background looming over a neighborhood. I have a few of the sun setting behind the refinery.

I called it Urban Art.

You have a soulmate! Those of us who see beauty and oddity in the place we call the city of Brotherly Love.

Robin B -- you don't know Philadelphia. It is filth-adelphia. I grew up there!

When I was kid, the old Italian ladies would scrub their marble steps and clean up every little speck of dirt, and now, you walk around and there is litter everywhere!
