Behold, an authentic, original south #Philly #ToynbeeTile. Not sure exactly how old this one is, but it’s tiny and it’s in one of South Philly’s smaller alleyways, so it’s probably been there for decades.
It was a real rush to find it but it just makes me wonder - how many of these have I walked right by without noticing? (Hand for scale)

This ROMAN is neat to me, a little simple but not derived from stiff hands like so much graff. Maybe it’s the black and white with electric green trim that I like? Not sure what it is about this one but it grabbed me.

Now that we’ve covered the basics of #toynbeetiles I’ll introduced a more advanced feature: the dial. A dial is really just a circular feature with one or more notches cut into it. In the picture below, there are three dials: red with a yellow notch, blue with a red notch, and yellow with a white (?) notch.

This tile is a prime example of what I call “laddering”. It’s those rectangular series of windows cut into the other tile features.
One of the projects I’m working on right now is building out a glossary of terms we can use to talk about #toynbeetiles better
