Fantastic Murals In Philadelphia

I discovered a wonderful group of photographs of some murals in Philadelphia. Time magazine http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1649278_1421152,00.html has excellent examples. Sadly I am unable to link a photo from them. Early in my career (Pre-Teaching time) I participated in the creation of some murals. To be honest I don't believe they still exist. But I always keep a look out for murals. I would like to visit Philadelphia just to see these murals. As in my city, these murals reflect the minority neighborhoods. Visit http://www.muralarts.org/ to find out more of Philadelphia's Mural Arts Program. They do have a tour http://www.muralarts.org/tours/. Sadly many people assume it is just another form of graffiti.
