Love Park -- in Philadelphia
Love Park -- in Philadelphia
Love Park, officially known as John F. Kennedy Plaza, is a plaza located in Center City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The park is nicknamed Love Park for its reproduction of Robert Indiana's Love sculpture which overlooks the plaza.
History
Love Park is the brainchild of former Philadelphia City Planner Edmund Bacon and architect Vincent G. Kling. The park is across from City Hall and was designed as a terminus for the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The park was built in 1965 and covers an underground parking garage. The main features of the plaza are curved granite steps and a single spout fountain added in 1969. What was once the city visitor center (built in 1960, before LOVE Park) was closed down for five years, but opened up in May 2006 as The Fairmount Park Welcome Center.[1] The park was dedicated in 1967 as John F. Kennedy Plaza after President John F. Kennedy.
The park is dedicated to the late United States president John F. Kennedy. A plaque at the park describes the dedication.
A Love sculpture, designed by Robert Indiana, was first placed in the plaza in 1976 as part of the United States' Bicentennial celebration. It was removed in 1978, but the sculpture was missed, and the chairman of Philadelphia Art Commission, Fitz Eugene Dixon Jr., bought the sculpture and permanently placed it in the plaza, in 1978.
While Love Park was undergoing renovation in 2016 and closed to the public the sculpture was housed in City Hall. The refurbished LOVE sculpture was returned on 13 February, 2018
Fairmount Park Welcome Center
Built at the base of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in 1961 by the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, the building actually predated the surrounding Love Park by five years. Informally known as the flying saucer, it was designed by architect Roy Larson of Harbeson, Hough, Livingston & Larson as a futuristic celebration of postwar Philadelphia optimism, attracting visitors to the heart of Penn Center, one of America’s most ambitious experiments in urban renewal. The building survives today as one of the best and most intact examples of flamboyant midcentury modern architecture in Center City Philadelphia and has been determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. It is currently closed while being renovated with the rest of the plaza.
The Christmas Village in Philadelphia
The Christmas Village in Philadelphia was formerly held at Dilworth Plaza, on the west flank of City Hall. During the construction on that site of Dilworth Park, the Christmas Village was temporarily relocated to LOVE Park.[citation needed] It is modeled after 16th-century German Christmas Markets, the most famous one being in Nuremberg. Running from Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve, the village attracts thousands in Center City and is one of the most popular holiday events in Philadelphia. Currently, while Love Park is being renovated, the village has moved temporarily back to Dilworth Park for the holidays.

When naming a newborn, you feel the weight of the decision, the fond hope that the right name might provide a push along a hoped-for path.
Even as names seek to nudge destiny, sometimes they merely set up irony: Faith, the fiery atheist; Victor, the embittered failure.
We can’t know all the thoughts that coursed through William Penn’s mind when he chose Philadelphia as the name for his new city, tucked onto the peninsula between the Delaware River and the Schuylkill. What we do know is that he chose boldly, aiming for the vault of heaven, daring irony to strike. The name he gave his city combined the Greek words for love (phileo) and brother (adelphos), setting up the enduring civic nickname: the City of Brotherly Love. Then Penn gave his city a street grid, a charter and a diplomatic first act that he hoped would enable it to live up to that name.

Philadelphia Dilworth Proposal - Plaza
Echelman's newest work continues her interest in making visible the existing environmental forces which cannot be seen by the human eye, yet innovates with a new material and subject matter. Functioning as a continuous X-ray of the city's circulatory system, Echelman's artwork will trace above ground the pathways of the three subway lines which run beneath Dilworth Plaza. The movement will occur in real time, using a data feed of train arrival and departure. The pathways will be drawn in 5-ft-tall curtains
of atomized water illuminated by layers of colored light. This is Echelman's first artwork using this new methodology.

Happy Valentine's Day from the Love Park in Philadelphia Pennsylvania
Love Park (official name: JFK Plaza) is a plaza located in Center City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The park is nicknamed Love Park for Robert Indiana Love sculpture which overlooks the plaza.
The Love sculpture, designed by Robert Indiana, was first placed in the plaza in 1976 as part of the United States' Bicentennial celebration. It was removed in 1978, but the sculpture was missed and the chairman of Philadelphia Art Commission, F. Eugene Dixon, Jr., bought the sculpture and permanently placed it in the plaza, in 1978.
Robert Indiana was born Robert Clark in New Castle, Indiana.
Valentine's Day which is celebrated on February 14th, can be traced back to Saint Valentine in Rome Italy 269 A.D.
It is believed that Valentine's Day originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it From Your Valentine.
