Tales From David Lynch’s “Eraserhood”
Explore the neighborhood that so electrified Lynch’s imagination.
When David Lynch moved to Philadelphia in the late 1960s, he discovered a city that was both terrifying and inspiring. Explore Callowhill, the neighborhood that so electrified Lynch’s imagination, with two guides: Hidden City’s Pete Woodall + Lynch/Eraserhood aficionado, Bob Bruhin. During this one-and-a-half hour walking tour, we’ll delve into the area’s industrial history, as well as the sights and sounds that inspired Lynch’s movies, particularly Eraserhead.

David Lynch, a cerebral filmmaker shaped by Philly, has died – WHYY
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.”
