Larry Fine (born Louis Feinberg) grew up at 3rd and South Streets, the current location of the mural. Besides his career as a Stooge, Fine played violin, acted in film, and even earned money as a boxer.

This is Philadelphia’s best mural!

I have a good deal of nostalgia when it comes to organs, as I have fond memories of my Grandfather playing his. Very pleased to see these beauties have been restored. I fear that organ playing is a dying art form in a modern electronic world. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/n...

People don't understand: 1) How pervasive right-wing propaganda is. I hear talking pts even from people who don't directly watch it. 2) How much people believe that politicians won't implement certain policies because they've been protected so far & if they are, that it won't affect them.

The world’s struggles and injustice can seem too large and overwhelming. Do not forget there is still so much goodness in the world. Let’s not lose focus of those we can help in our communities through acts of kindness and love.

Our Founding Fathers would be quaking in their boots watching what is unfolding right now in our Republic. To elect men (and women) of such low character. They would be ashamed. The good men and women of this country will not go gentle into that good night.

Some scripture to help navigate our troubled waters… “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; I do not give to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27
