Tiles in Philadelphia

Most of the original Philly tiles have worn down, but there are still some intact tiles located throughout Philadelphia.
For example, this original tile was found as recently as January 28, 2013.

These tiles are very rare to come across these days, so I encourage my readers in the Philly area (and also along most of the east coast) to keep their eyes peeled for original tiles.  The copycats are cool, sure, but originals are a very exciting find.  If you spot what you think may be an original tile, please photograph it and send the photo to me, and you will most likely see it posted on Toynbee Talk.
