Michelle was hustling past a huge mural featuring six painted images of recording artists from the 1950s and 1960s who were raised in South Philly. She stopped, stared and vaguely remembered her mother had attended the same high school as teen idols Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell and Fabian. They are among the recording artists from South Philadelphia who epitomized rock and roll during the 1950s and early 1960s. These and other famous names were immortalized in the South Philly Musicians mural painted by Peter Pagast in 2004. Sadly, the mural was covered by new construction in 2021.
