Lancaster Avenue walk and photos

I drive down the street on a somewhat regular basis, but this was the first time I walked down the street with the intent of really absorbing my surroundings. There was so much art, SO MUCH ART. Things that I never realized before, from murals to mosaics planter boxes to stained glass on the iron gate outside of  an auto shop. I came across two really great attempts to engage the community on how they wanted to transform the neighborhood. There was one instillation of sorts of stickers on the window of a storefront with the pre-printed words, I wish this was.... prompting individuals to fill in the blank. There was also a building facade and door with "make the mark" painted on it promoting an open house engaging local residents to come and share their visions of the lancaster neighborhood.
