It's also on Amazon if you actually want to buy it. Preview it on YouTube. It's very disturbing.

I was walking around taking pictures this weekend and found myself on this block...
 I'm pretty sure this is the lot where his house used to be.  The morgue kitty-corner to his house, now part of Roman Catholic High School.

If you go south on 13th just a few feet, passed that razed parking lot, on the east side you can see a few very, very weird little residential bldgs. especially weird is the clappboard with no window on the first floor and just one on the second floor. those itty bitty buildings surrounded by those hulking factory bldgs. has a very strange vibe, especially if you think back to the way phila must have been back in the day.
Though on the surface his movie seems extremely removed from reality, I would think there are many people who could relate to the environmental and psychological stress he depicted.. (use google maps street view if you cant go down there in person)

Back then, Vine Street was "skid row." Ask anyone. People always talk about Press Bar, Phila Athletic Club, etc on Broad St. I can only imagine the area back then. I mean, even 10 or 20 years ago. Poor Lynch must have been terrified. In a good way, he says.
Oh, and that spotted fetus in the movie. Time has lessened my level of disturbance.

search 1300 wood street theres an awesome david lynchianesque (?) photo of a coppper standing in front of the morgue circa 1928. Funny, some of those shots from the late 1800s/early 1900s could have been shot today (in B/W). thats why i absolutely love philly.

Or maybe the copper is standing in front of the building at the SE corner 13th wood, kuz i just saw another picture of the morgue building (same large stone bldg there now) but with a very strange wooden something in front.
another picture shows a storefront with an awning, with big letters spelling out MILK DAIRY...... makes me think of the yutube video of lynch on the street corner with a cow yammering on about milk or something while a college kid interviewing him nodding "ya, i think i get it". sorry, im too lazy to post the images as i dont have a phototbucket accnt etc.
