Hey happy Sunday morning gang.

This is an older picture of a couple #ToynbeeTiles that used to be on Broad Street in #Philadephia, but they were lost when it was repaved a few few weeks ago. Damn shame but that’s how it goes.

This tile was sent in from a correspondent in #Detroit. She says that this #HouseOfHades #ToynbeeTile is located at an intersection where a pedestrian was struck and killed by a vehicle earlier this year. Regardless of whether the artist was aware of the recent history of this intersection, it brings to mind the blog post about monuments from @AdrianRiskin: https://chez-risk.in/2023/04/11/monuments-altars-ceramic-tiles-and-the-passions-stamped-on-these-lifeless-things-1/

A rare trip into #Philly yesterday, and I was thrilled to spot two new #HouseOfHades #ToynbeeTiles right near City Hall. These symbols or messages embedded in asphalt streets fascinate me as an art form.

The holidays have me thinking about what I’m thankful for, and one of the top items has to be the people that I’ve met while studying the #ToynbeeTiles , one of whom sent in this classic from #Baltimore.

I’ll also announce that I’m publishing a few pages about #HouseOfHades / Toynbee Tile developments over the past year. This volume, “Tile Times,” will be finished sometime in January and I’ll provide it free of charge. To request a copy, just send a mailing address to [email protected]

Honk/like/share if you've also owned this book in the 1980s!

Found this tile near South Station in #Boston purely by chance after our flight was cancelled and we had to run to catch a train instead (at least we were able to work something out to get home). Anyway…it’s the only tile I know of in Boston, but I’m not sure if that’s because I don’t have enough eyes in Boston or there just really aren’t any others up there.

This monochrome #ToynbeeTile installation lives in lower #manhattan. It’s one of the most interesting ones I’ve come across since it involves a two-way communication medium instead of the normal exhortations to make and glue tiles, which are one-way obv. Some fellow enthusiasts pointed out to me that W.E. (Western Electric) Fortresses are a model of pay phone, but what does he use them for?? I’ve never heard of House of Hades calling anyone

IT’S HAPPENING!! Our friends @syracusehistory@instagram/ have reported the first 2 #toynbeetiles made by #houseofhades this year! I’m the next few months we can expect to see dozens more popping up throughout #newyork #newjersey #pennsylvania and hopefully further! (There are usually at least a few in #toronto ). Please send a picture of you see one!!

For the first #fedifriday or #fedifridays I’ll add a couple of my favorite #nyc #toynbeetiles both of which can be found in #manhattan

I’m jealous that #houseofhades keeps his best stuff in #newyork but at least it’s just a quick train ride from #philly

Looking forward to seeing some new stuff in #brooklyn when I’m up that way later this month. Always happy to answer #toynbee /house of hades tile questions
