In our continuing effort to celebrate the richness of our neighborhoods we take a look at Philadelphia' Mural Art Gallery.
 These very professional efforts are community involved undertakings made possible through grants and business sponsorships. Seen through to fruition, by dedicated artist. In some cases painting in neighbor-hoods off the beaten path, to put it mildly.
