City streets of Philadelphia
Beautiful, building-sized mural near downtown Philadelphia at S Broad and Lombard Streets. This work of art is called "Theater of Life" and was created by Meg Saligman in 2002. It's part of Philly's Mural Arts Program. There are many around the city. Makes a great self-guided walking tour.
