Toynbee Tiles: Local Movie in Sundance

[mikinvs]

Yeah, I watched it on Comcast and it is a very good documentary, both fascinating and riveting. Well done guys. I really hope Jon has given up cleaning houses.

[NWPhillyRealtor]

Just watched it On Demand. Very intriguing and well done. Congrats! I will be out looking for the tiles this week.

Thanks all. Rich, I heard reports last week of tiles at germantown and chelten, but there's nothing there. Didn't check broad and olney though.

They are returning to the street after the city nearly repaved most of the main streets of the city....

Ahhhhh, so that is why I couldn't find the ones mentioned in the film at 5th and Chestnut, 6th and Chestnut and another spot the other day So, he's still laying them out there?

[mixiboi]

Someone is putting them back in..


I'll take some pictures of the new ones and the old ones that are still out there Thursday...

I just got my copy of the DVD this week, along with a nice note from Jon Foy as a "thank you" for donating to his Kickstarter campaign. Looking forward to finally watching it!

I just got mine too. Think a poster came as well. i haven't opened that package yet. very cool!

As Promised:









You can tell the new ones from the old ones, and the old ones will be gone soon as the city get to those streets.

There is one at 5th and Walnut. I walk over it almost everyday. There is also one right on the parkway, on a little island for pedestrians. I so want to see this movie some day.

I found it interesting that my name on the address label was written in a font that matches the Toynbee tiles - nice detail!

[NWPhillyRealtor]

Mine too! Didn't notice till you mentioned it. Hey Steve, I was out showing houses today to Annie and Josh who you bought your house from and I loaned them my DVD and they are psyched to check it out!

[dovate]

They must be addicted to moving.

But seriously, Jon is glad to finally get the kickstarter stuff out. Since the official DVD isn't out for a couple months, he did a special limited edition run for all of you. Hope you like the movie.

p.s. the closest tiles to the northwest are probably down on Broad Street. There are a ton from north of Erie (and maybe as far north as Olney) all the way down to Temple. Here are 3 at Broad and Allegheny that I photographed last year:

Screening tonight at the Troc, 8pm. Foy will be there for q&a and will be selling DVDs.
