Tour the Love Letter Project for Valentine’s Day

   I hate Valentine’s Day. For the past three years, the holiday of chocolates and flowers has been a day of awkward attempts at romance. Last year, my then boyfriend of two years took me to see the Monster Truck show. Nothing says “I love you” quite like the rumbling of a 350-horsepower engine as a colossal truck runs over five station-wagons in a row. I forgot to bring earplugs and couldn’t hear anything for days. When I was in high school, my significant other bought me a bag of processed shrimp instead of a dozen roses. I don’t even like seafood.

            This year, however, I am single on Valentine’s Day for the first time in half a decade. And guess what? I’m going to take myself on a truly fantastic date. The Philadelphia Mural Arts Program is offering a tour of the Love Letter Project, a rooftop mural project consisting of more than 50 murals from 45th to 63rd streets along the Market Street corridor.
            The tour departs from the LOVE Park LOVE sculpture, and participants take a ride on the El train to see the murals from a great vantage point. Guests will be provided with a map of the murals and also accompanied by a knowledgeable Mural Arts Program tour guide.
            The tour costs $17 per person and will be taking place every Saturday at 10 a.m. through the month of January. Please visit www.muralarts.org for more information.
