ring the keys in lancaster, pa

I've just returned from a vacation in which I spent several days with family in Lancaster, PA. I've visited there my whole life, but apparently have only experienced a narrow slice of what the city has to offer. Last week, I had the best Pad Thai I've ever eaten, and had brunch at a wonderful crêperie in downtown.

Driving away from the crêperie, my cousin pointed out a painted piano on the sidewalk, part of a public art installment through the city. Donated uprights, brightly decorated, are available for anyone to play. They're open to the elements, which means they're quickly going out of tune, but that's part of the experience - it's temporary, and precious.

Here's a video of the installation:

What a cool concept! And speaking of cool, isn't this weather nice!
