Filmmaker David Lynch has died. The writer, director and multi-faceted artist who studied art in Philadelphia went on to make movies and television, such as “Twin Peaks,” “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland Drive.” He won an honorary Academy Award in 2019 for his filmmaking career.
…
He lived near Poplar and Girard Avenue with his wife and infant daughter, where he witnessed a 13-year-old boy gunned down in the street. He said the experience influenced his vision for “Eraserhead.”
Local fans have dubbed the neighborhood Eraserhood.
“When I call it Eraserhood, I’m talking about an intersection between a real place and an imaginary place,” Bob Bruhin, author of “Walking the Eraserhood: A street-level exploration of Philadelphia’s infamous Callowhill Industrial Historic District,” told WHYY’s Billy Penn in 2015. “There’s a whole twist of thought that comes from comparing what David Lynch did with it, with reality. Eraserhood is darker and scarier than Callowhill actually is.”

But from what I saw during a 90-minute tour of The Inquirer’s old home (once my work home, too), it’s hard to imagine that the renovated building will provide a conducive environment for the much-needed changes. The $280 million construction project, which was managed by the Kenney Administration and executed by developer Bart Blatstein’s Tower Investments, has produced a dismal municipal bunker, walled off from the surrounding city and the people the police are meant to protect.
