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.

This is an example of a brand new kind of tile that was reported to us this summer! This doesn’t really fit the style of the Original, #HouseofHadesTile , or #stikman so I’ve dubbed the creator “Company Man,” which is carved into the pink man on the left. He has another tile reported in South Philly somewhere, but I haven’t been able to find it and it may have been paved. Tile text in alt text.

Behold, an authentic, original south #Philly #ToynbeeTile. Not sure exactly how old this one is, but it’s tiny and it’s in one of South Philly’s smaller alleyways, so it’s probably been there for decades.

It was a real rush to find it but it just makes me wonder - how many of these have I walked right by without noticing? (Hand for scale)
