The photographic record of this work is undergoing conservation treatment and is not presently on display. The work itself remains in the permanent collection.

Curatorial note

Seen from the curb, the green To 3rd Street sign anchors the composition while a white van sits in the lower center and a queue of parked cars recedes along the block. Since January 2026 the work has occupied this curbside vantage, recording the tempo of everyday mobility at a single intersection. Among the collection of works that treat street life as form, this piece preserves the ordinary choreography of signage, signal, and vehicle line at a South Philadelphia cross street.
