As most of you know, several weeks ago, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage. Right around the same time, the intersection at 13th and Locust Streets was brightened up by rainbow-colored crosswalk designs. I used to deliver in this area regularly, but since March, I haven't spent much time there. I finally passed through the other day. With the mural contrasting (or complementing?) in the background, it creates a unique scene:
Add this to the list of beautiful and/or unique sights (or sites) in Philadelphia. Even though there's plenty of food and bar happenings in the Gayborhood, for the most part, this intersection was just your run-of-the-mill city storefronts and condos until a few weeks ago. Change is good.
This also makes you forget that 13th & Locust is the location of one of the most controversial murders in this city's history...in case you didn't know that...I'd rather think of it in the context of the picture above.
