I grew up outside of Philly...I spent many, many weekends in and around Philly. BUT! I had yet to get to one iconic spot. Until our little weekend get-away that is! The Philadelphia Magic Gardens, on South Street is an amazing mosaic gallery, mostly outdoors, spanning 3 lots. The work is the creation of artist Isaiah Zagar who moved to the neighborhood when it was slated to be turned into a highway. He started to mosaic the property to make the area more beautiful. Over time the neighborhood saw a resurgence, didn't get a highway, and is one of the most popular trendy areas of the city.

I loved our visit there last year. It was really incredible to walk around and I couldn't stop taking pictures. The neighborhood is so cool too. It took us way to long to get there as well but I'm glad we did!
Not sure if magic's the word, unless you're also using mushrooms in the sentence ;) Very groovy tho....
Thanks for taking us through Philadelphia's Magic Garden. Your pictures were so fun!
