Philly's drug problem is ready for its close-up

POSTED: Tuesday, April 3, 2012, 4:21 PM

Philly has a tradition of found-object photo blogs — the Better Off Soaked compendium of broken umbrella photos, for example, or the disgustingly appealing Philly Tumbleweaves — and now there's a newer, sadder one to add to the mix. Crack Bags of Philly. It's photos. Of crack bags. Found in Philly.

The creator of this Tumblr page didn't respond to a query so we have no idea who he/she/they are or what inspired them, but we can certainly respect the artistic attention they've paid to what is an unfortunately pretty common sight in many neighborhoods. 

Next up, Artic Splash Cartons of Fishtown? Discarded Wing Bones of the Broad Street Line? We can't wait.
