"Reach High and You Will Go Far" - that's the title of this painting by the artist "Joshua Sarantitis & PDRMAP" I did a search for that acronym and could not find out what it is. Anyhow, I saw this amazing mural when heading back to the train. Apparently he has painted murals all over Philadelphia, acording to his website. Anyhow, this stopped me in my tracks when I saw it. I took a different route from the museum, than I took to the museum, fortunately, and thus came across this.

Wow! Thanks for the link. I had no idea that Philadelphia was known as the city of murals. The ones on the website are stunning! I am SO glad I stumbled across the one I found the other day. It brightened my day to see it!
Many of Philly's murals are painted in areas that are in need of revitalization. I think they were painted to offer hope and beauty in places that need both. Next time you go, drive around the outer areas of downtown and look up. You'll be evn more amazed.
