Streets of Philadelphia Gallery

A little bit touristy but a whole lot of fun. The Streets OF Philadelphia showcases photographs of Philadelphia as we know it, combines it with photos of how our grandparents knew it, and throws in some awesome Philly themed paintings in between (this month’s display featured the art of Philly Unilocal own Britt M.!). But the coolest thing of all that here offers is it’s centerpiece model that’s Philadelphia in Lego form!
when walking through the Gallery your not really looking at much that you haven’t seen a bajillion times over in photos and real life. but you can’t help but feel an uncanny sense of nostalgia when you look at the imagery it offers. While the Lego sized Philly almost bought out a Godzilla complex in McThrill, I couldn’t help but notice the sheer amount of effort that went into it, and how accurate the portrayals were. It’s still very much a work in progress though, but they displays the buildings that are being worked upon in the back.
