What are those weird boxes on Frankford Avenue?

An art installation, duh. I happenstanced upon it while biking on Frankford Avenue the other day (it's around the Rocket Cafe/Circle Thrift area). I immediately thought it looked an awful lot like an installation, but kids were playing throughout it and adults were drinking nearby. As I got closer, I realized it was a full-on birthday party, complete with balloons and everything, so I figured I was wrong.
NKCDC's Web site confirms that some kid, in fact, had a pretty bougie b-day — this "Caterpillar Theater" piece was donated to the corporation, and it was originally part of Design Philadelphia's A Clean Break exhibit last October. The NKCDC is smartly booking performances at it throughout the summer. I think it would make for a pretty cool alternative to the standing-near-pretty-but-boring-trees photo everyone takes for their prom/wedding/graduation.
Don’t you mean NK C D C?
i hear some pretty awesome bands are playing there like Acres of Diamonds this summer…
sweet!
