yes, this was on south street, sadly the only one i found. i had a feeling there might be more in center city, but i didn't have time to walk around there as well.

I have no photo but I saw a tile on the SE corner of Broad and Chestnut Streets in Phila. 5/1/9..I also spotted a tile on Frankford Avenue, one block south of Bridge Street, on the east side of the Street near the curb between the discount and sneaker stores.
