Walking on rainbows

By summertime, even the streets of the Gayborhood will be covered in rainbows. The crosswalks on 12th and Locust and 13th and Locust will be permanently painted over with rainbows, thanks to a partnership between the LGBT organization Philly Pride Presents and the city. While the final date for the installation hasn't been set, the sidewalks will be dedicated July 5, according to the organization's Facebook post.

The crosswalks on 12th and Locust and 13th and Locust will be permanently painted over with rainbows, thanks to a partnership between the LGBT organization Philly Pride Presents and the city. While the final date for the installation hasn't been set, the sidewalks will be dedicated July 5, according to the organization's Facebook post.

Philly Pride Presents executive director Franny Price said there were a few issues left to iron out with the city's Streets Department, but said the rainbow sidewalks were absolutely going forward. Price wouldn't say anything more until she got final word from the Streets Department.

Officials from the Streets Department were not immediately available for comment.
