Rob and Kaitlin McElhenney (Mac and Sweet Dee from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia who are married in real life) are part owners of the bar Mac's Tavern on Market St. in Philadelphia.

According to the Mac's Tavern website, the building was formerly Skinner’s Dry Goods Store, and in 1776 "would have been THE dry goods store for Mr. & Mrs. Benjamin Franklin, who resided right up the block… as well as Betsy Ross, 1 block away."

farmer john murals

from zabriskie point, carrie (1976) posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery

In 1957, the Clougherty meat-packing company hired Les Grimes to paint a farmland mural on side of their plant just south of downtown Los Angeles in Vernon. Grimes died in 1968 after falling from a scaffold while painting and Arno Jordan completed the murals that span several blocks. The deteriorating murals were later touched up by muralist Philip Slagter and his crew. Say what you will about cavorting happy pigs in an idyllic country setting on the side of a slaughterhouse in industrial California.

The Farmer John murals make an appearance in Antonioni's Zabriskie Point and Brian De Palma's Carrie.
