Bernie Sanders mural in Philly could be demolished unless...Julie Shaw
The Philadelphia Inquirer
Max Glass, majority owner of the building on the southeast corner of 22nd and Catharine Streets, was part of a pro-Sanders group that created the mural to show public support for the Vermont senator ahead of the Democratic presidential nomination.
"I care about the mural image," he said Friday. "The mural is very special. It’s beautiful and meaningful. And it still remains relevant because Bernie is still out there as a voice for progressives, still has a huge amount of grassroots support."
Glass, who is a developer, has plans to transform the property at 2146 Catharine St. into a mixed-use space with a restaurant and residential units. He currently uses the building for storage.
"I want to keep that mural alive even if the building is demolished," Glass said. He welcomes readers' ideas. If you have an interest in preserving the mural in some way, contact Glass at max@glassproperties.com.
