A cool piano mural jazzes up the side of the future 1812 Piano Lounge, slated to open in spring 2025 at 1812 West Allen Street, Allentown, Pennsylvania, in the vicinity of the West End Theatre District. I shot this on a mid-October evening in 2024.
The mural is the work of local artist Lauren Kuhn.

The new Public Piano waits to be played along the new SouthSide Urban Arts Trail Nov. 8, 2020 at Third and Fillmore Streets, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Anyone is welcome to sit down and tickle the ivories or listen to the music that weaves into the street rhythm of South Side Bethlehem.
The piano features the art of local artist Christopher Colon and is sponsored by The Lehigh Valley Chamber Main Street Foundation, Northampton Community College Fowler Family SouthSide Center, the SouthSide Arts District Design Committee and Wegmans Food Markets.
The project was a venture of the SouthSide Arts District, an initiative of the Bethlehem Economic Development Corporation.
A sign of the times in the age of COVID-19, a spray bottle of hand sanitizer sits atop the piano.
A street piano is a piano placed in a public area that encourages passersby to stop and play.
