Found on the Ground

Life is a treasure hunt.

Masonic Secret Symbol

Dscn2324

Ok, so this is probably not a Masonic secret symbol.  But I've had no luck figuring it out, and it seems like the sort of thing they would make.

I noticed this rosy marble slab back in October, while walking home from Quizzo.  It's the doorstep of a place called "Grace Hall", but not the crew (rowing) Grace Hall on the Schuylkill River. 

Since it's cryptic and made of stone, let's just say it's the Masons and leave it at that. 

Found 10/06, in the area of Locust and 16th, Phila. PA

Subway Exit

And finally, this charming sign in the ground, which I think is quite beautiful.

Tomorrow, back to crazy stuff inadvertantly dropped by other people.

Space Within These Lines Not Dedicated

Dscn1100

These can be found all over the place in Philadelphia.  What does it mean?   

"Benny" over at the Penn Current says:

"They’re there to protect the property owner’s rights...the plaques are placed along the property line. The space within the plaques is “not dedicated” to the public. In other words, even though the property owner has allowed the public to access the space freely, it’s still private property."

Here's a more detailed explanation from the Philadelphia Weekly.
