After leaving the Norris St. location I head back towards Center City to meet James Burns and company on 20th and Ludlowe. A few blocks down 20th Street I spot the top of the mural, which is partially painted on the side of a large building with a small lot adjacent to it. James Burns has two interns working for him, Carolina Gomez and Tim Gibbon. They were up on a lift when I arrived there, working on a small portion of this huge mural. I spoke to Carolina first.
