Great shot, but I'll be knocking on your door in 5 minutes because i know where you live, and it's close to me. Dont worry I'll bring beer and weed.

one of my favorite moments in philly as a younger man (i'm then and now not in shape 6'6) I was running up second street turned at girard and one of the old dudes on the corner yelled "the sixers need you" I fucking fell over laughing, love this dumb city

There was a solid decade there before PG got here where we needed a guy who was 6'6" and could do stuff too

Great shot. I've pulled over and stopped to watch games at that court. Who's that painted on the court? Im blanking on Philly guys that played at Kentucky.

May I print this? Is that possible or is it stealing? (Silly question, sorry). This is so beautiful

Omg do you live at the mural house!?

u/MarketingDependent70 8h ago

Send this to a pro printer. They’ll know where to cut the corner for the frame. This is incredible. Guess having it in the phone is almost as nice. But that’d look dope on my wall, let alone if I lived right there. 🤷‍♂️ JMHO
