1:00 PM – 2:30 PMWhen David Lynch moved to Philadelphia in the late 1960s to attend PAFA, he discovered a city that was both terrifying and inspiring. Explore the neighborhood just blocks away from PAFA that so electrified Lynch’s imagination with Hidden City’s Peter Woodall and Lynch–and Eraserhood–afficionado, 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.

The corner of 11th & Mount Vernon has experienced more change in the last couple of years than it did in the hundred years before. Remember, the Ruffin Nichols Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church and school once stood on this corner, taking up a huge chunk of land with two attractive stone buildings. In fits and starts, those buildings were demolished, with the ground finally cleared about a year ago.

The 1000 block of Wood Street doesn’t seem like a natural fit for development at first glance. It’s half a block from the Vine Street Expressway. The block is lined with warehouses that contain, among other businesses, a food distributor, an art gallery, and a tofu factory. Though the viaduct nearby might soon become a park, it more looms over the area than benefits it right now.
