The announcement also used a new hashtag, #PhillyPower. Before this tweet, the familiar #IonThePrize would be used.
Location of the mural
Many fans living in Philadelphia, are aware of Localhost Philly, home of N3rd Street Gamers’ Philadelphia branch. On January 28th, Nerd Street announced that they would be producing all three of the Fusion’s homestands. This would make the location of the mural an easy decision for the Fusion. If fans are interested in seeing this artwork in person, Local Host Philly is located at 908 N 3rd St, Philadelphia, PA 19123.
