I moved to #Callowhill knowing it was the dystopic hellscape that inspired #DavidLynch’s nightmares, and hoped to find a muse of my own. But the reality of what it’s become is a wasteland of ample parking and McMansions shoehorned into “artist lofts” no artist could ever dream to afford. Callowhill is puerile sensory deprivation, a place where suburban refugees drive to Target and the rest use “Uber” as a verb. The flip side of Lynch’s #ManInThePlanet – a beautifully scarred face staring out a cracked window to the haunting tune of #InHeaven – today’s Callowhill, callously re-dubbed #SpringArts by developers from somewhere else, is just another tired trope of gentrification. Brunch. Craft beer. Parking lots. Bland, boring, banal…expected. #wheredidalltheweirdosgo

Perhaps in honor of – or because of – @TwinPeaks being released on Blu-ray and DVD today, all of the lampposts in my neighborhood, which is just a few short minutes walk from Lynch’s old neighborhood that inspired #Eraserhead, seemed to flicker with artful terrifying acknowledgment. Scroll for three looks. _________________________________________________________ #AccidentalArt #Art #Artistry #BluntForceDrama #ChristmasDecor #ChristmasLights #CityLife #DavidLynch #Director #Downtown #Eraserhood #Explore215 #Flicker #GottaLight? #Igers_Philly #ItIsHappeningAgain #LetsRock #Lighting #Lit #MarkFrost #Philly #Phillygram #SavePhilly #StreetLight #TwinPeaks #215 #UrbanBeauty #UrbanLife _________________________________________________________ @Kyle_MacLachlan @LauraDern @Showtime
