What a gift, when someone truly understands you, and what a loss when they are gone. David Lynch died today at the age of 78. His seminal work as a director aside, we mourn his passing because of several interviews he gave to City Paper (or was it Philly Weekly?) in the 1990s and early 2000s that expressed the inchoate feelings and plenty of other folks had about what gave Philadelphia its particular fascination.

Much later, in 2014, hired Hidden City to create a tour of the neighborhood (the Eraserhood/Callowhill/the Loft District) where Lynch lived in his student days to accompany a retrospective of Lynch's paintings. We teamed up with Lynch aficionado and have offered the tour once or twice a year ever since. (Gotta be at least twice this year 🫤).

PAFA had gotten the idea of contacting us because they had seen our aricle about a Canadian teenager who in the late 1960s photographed in color the trolleys that were his passion (and much else incidentally). This was the city Lynch knew and was responding to, and which he later described as he does in this post's graphic. That article (link in bio) was the germ of the idea which would become our current book project, Philly in Color, 1950 to 19990. And so we keep seeking to evoke the lost world that Lynch knew.
