Spring into Spring Garden

I've been wanting to put together a mural walk with this title for some time now (though I still can't decide whether I think it's corny or clever :)). But it's the first day of spring as I type this description, so I believe the moment has finally arrived. Spring Garden Street and the surrounding blocks have such a wealth of murals that I think we'll need several installments to see and discuss them all. I'll put up a final itinerary as soon as I can, but in the meantime, the following are the ones we're likely to get to in Part One: *Spring Garden*, 456 N 5th St *The Value of Family*, 499 N 5th St, NorthEast Treatment Centers *Building Connections through Time*, Pedestrian Tunnel, 5th St & Benjamin Franklin Bridge *Flowering Axes*, Vehicular Tunnel, 5th St & Benjamin Franklin Bridge (we may not be able to access this one) *Elastic Geography*, 500 Spring Garden St, Yards Brewing Company *Through The Cracks In The Pavement*, 717 N 5th St *Electric Philadelphia*, 6th St Underpass, 6th St & Wood St *Wide Open*, 600 Spring Garden St *Brotherly Love*, 601 Spring Garden St *Building America: German-American Immigration & Contributions to the New* *World*, 605 Spring Garden St *Primary Dispersion*, 433 N 7th St *Edgar Allen Poe*, 600 N 7th St Those of us who still have the energy and availability after we discuss the above can go out for food/drink in the area.
