Toynbee Tiles
On a recent visit to Philadelphia, April 3rd 2005, I discovered the following
tile laid in the asphalt at the corner of Locust and 11th Street. I've long
known about the Toynbee tile phenomena, and there are many sites listing tiles
and philosophies of their meanings on the web. This tile appears to be new and
the text reads:
TOYNBEE IDEA
MOVIE 2001
RAISE DEAD
PLANET JUPITER
YOU MUST LAY TILE AS HELLIONS FRONTS AND MEDIA ARE AGAINST IT
