Steve Powers’ A Love Letter For You
You wouldn’t be the first person to propose in front of the Love Letters series—Meaghan and Todd made it official on our Market–Frankford line Love Letters tour—but let’s be honest: it’s too good to pass up.
Greg Lamarche’s Untitled for Reading Between the Lines
Love is elementary. Make it simple. Say how you feel.
This mural makes a bold backdrop, but it’s also an abstract reference to newness and beginnings, and building a new life together.
Willis Humphrey’s Staircases and Mountaintops
You’ve got solid communication skills and a partner who makes you laugh, but the future is unknown, so make a leap of faith.
Derrick Adams’ Your Own Channel
Modern romance, right? You fell in love over text-message marathons, so why not propose in front of the heart-eyes emoji?
MadC’s Untitled from Reading Between the Lines
Don’t make your romantic partner read between the lines! Stand in front of this splashy mural and shout your feelings.
David Guinn and Drew Billiau’s Electric Street
Overwhelmed by love as you wander through South Philadelphia at night, dip onto Percy Street just south of 9th and Wharton, ask a very important question, and feel your heart’s glow reflected on the wall behind you.
Let’s be honest about our feelings.
This mural takes its inspiration from the meaning behind Philadelphia’s name, and its deeply saturated colors and intimate embrace are peak romance.
Beth Clevenstine and Paul Santoleri’s Water Under the Bridge
These stained-glass-inspired mosaic steps are lush and calming. Sit down next to the one you love, hold their hand, and build a better world together.
