Sometimes we get caught up in our own stuff that we miss interesting little details that abound in this part of the city. We spotted this cool horse-head post while walking around the hood. Can you guess where it is?

Looks like a different spot, but there’s a whole row of them on Preston St near the 4000 block of Pine:

Its at the corner of Spruce Street and Melville between 45th and 46th. I used to walk by these posts everyday when I lived in West Philly

You got it Nate. A few are tucked along that block of Melville.

I use them to frighten the bad people.

Actually, they work best when bloodied and placed in bed next to the bad people.

Melville and Spruce. When I take my 2 year old grandson on walks he feeds them pretend apples. He doesn’t know it, but I feed them pretend carrots. Glad they’re hitched to our block.
