Cool right? That piece is by West Philly artist Nilé Livingston and is part of the “Baltimore Avenue Series,” which she will show on Monday, June 25th at The Gold Standard Café (4800 Baltimore Ave.) from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Livingston describes the exhibit as:
“Biographic interpretations of growing up in West Philadelphia have inspired me to explore endless character encounters. I sketch my ideas on paper and then collage them in Photoshop. Creating art is my relentless urge to explore sources of anxiety, document interactions, share memories, as well as provide evidence for narrative works that address social, environmental, and technological changes.”

This was cool! Very creative concept.. but it’s a shame that you breeze right by the DAHLAK. Especially since it’s been there since the 80’s– before the Baltimore strip was even the strip to be on. I was there just yesterday! :]
