National Public Radio (NPR) had a wonderful story on the wall murals of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There are cities to go to to visit their museums, Philadelphia is a sort of museum writ large all unto itself. Even a casual visit and you'll see them from the expressways if all you're doing to passing through. But really don't. Pull off and explore, you won't be disappointed.
I don't know how many their actually are, but I would guess 500 to 1,000. Every city in America should be so adorned.
I was born on a bitterly cold end of January night in the year 1961. It was seven years to the day after the birth of Oprah Winfrey, and one year before the death of Robert Frost on that same day. Cool associations both.
I was the first child of older parents (my mother was 42). I love the color yellow. I am single, and fascinated with life.
