During the summer of 2009, artist Stephen Powers and the mural arts project led a group of West Philadelphia residents to create "Love Letter," a public art project consisting of a series of 50 rooftop murals along the city's market street corridor.
The murals, which are best viewed from the elevated transit line, collectively express a love letter from a guy to a girl, from an artist to his hometown, and from local residents to their west Philadelphia neighborhood.
This is their story in their own words.
