Today’s a big day here in Philadelphia – it’s Independence Day!
There are many other reasons I love living in Philadelphia. Here are a couple of them. This mural, representing local independent radio station WXPN, is one. The mural is located in West Philadelphia.
And here’s another reason – this church was built in 1886. It’s also in West Philadelphia. Eventually it was struck by lightning. It’s no longer in use. I think it’s for sale, though. I think it’s really striking. Pardon the expression!
