Blake: This morning I drove through a community [in North Philadelphia] that I grew up in. I don't recognize it anymore. A lot of fond memories, I can't even recall them because the buildings are not there. Every rowhome, every block had a distinctive flavor. [New construction now is] like Las Vegas. It's fake. Gentrification has pretty much just wiped out vast swaths of this urban culture that I grew up under. And I collect art because I know that at some point, these things are not going to exist.
