Experience Philly's Own: 'Place de la Concorde!'

The Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia has lead the charge in highlighting and protecting our City's architectural treasures and artistic gems!

Join Executive Director, Paul Steinke, and I- as we discuss the important role of culturally unifying structures on our iconic 'Benjamin Franklin Parkway!'

Inspired by the Twin Buildings of 'La Place de la Concorde' in Paris, France- here are two of our own local contributors!

1. The Free Library of Philadelphia stands resplendent!
2. But, note: our featured stunning 'Family Court Building' has now sat fallow for '12 Years'- awaiting visionary politicians and responsible re-developers to take up that gauntlet... There are '37' remarkable WPA Murals tucked away inside- just waiting to be experienced by the Public once again! This World Heritage City deserves an infusion of 'Philly Love' on The Parkway right now- let's do this!

To see the full Emmy-nominated, Telly Award-winning American Dream TV Segment focusing on our 'City Beautiful Movement-' watch now on my FB and IG pages; and on Youtube at: 'For the Love of Philadelphia...'
