San Francisco, LA and Philly have the most murals of the cities I've visited.

I would say Philadelphia is the mural capital. More public art than any other US city.

It would not be DC. Of all the murals you posted, I only recognize the third one, and I feel like I know DC like the back of my hand. Philly has many more and should probably win the title for both best and worst murals in the USA.

When did they put a mural on the wall of Ben's Chili Bowl? I don't remember that being there.

All of the pics I've posted are all DC and I'm only getting started. I'm a DC native born and raised so I know the city better then you. Also DC beats Philly in this category.

Mural Arts Program | Mural Arts Program

Based on my experience with DC I would say not nearly the level of Murals as the Philly program but I could be wrong but dont think so

Which I believe is still the largest in the US
