Love can be found in more places than a John Paul Young song. The Mural Arts Program commissioned artist Stephen Powers to create that warm and fuzzy feeling in West Philly. He has created 50 love letter murals on rooftops along Market Street that are viewable from the El (Market-Frankford line) between 45th and 63rd Streets.

The Murals Arts Program offers a tour of these sweet, funny and inspired by real life murals on Saturday mornings at 10am. They meet at Love park (very fitting) and continue the tour on the train.  

In addition to the Love Letters tour, the Mural Arts Program offers several other tours that cover different areas of the city. You will learn about art, history and about ongoing projects. Some of the tours even have food! Click on the website below and reserve your spot today.

Make sure you come and see the art that makes Philadelphia one of the most interesting cities in the country. Heck! Make a weendend out of it and stay at the Independent Hotel.
