The Love Situation in Philly: One Sign or a Love Stampede?
Ah, Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love... but how much brotherly love are we talking about? Can it be contained in just one giant metal sculpture? Buckle up, lovebirds (or cynics, we don't judge), because we're diving deep (well, kind of deep, it's the internet, not the Mariana Trench) into the curious case of the Philly LOVE signs.

It's All About the OG: The LOVE Park LOVE
Let's get the obvious out of the way first. There's the iconic, the trademark, the one-and-only (well, almost) LOVE sculpture in LOVE Park. This brightly colored behemoth, with its tilted "O" that makes us wonder if love is a bit lopsided sometimes (hey, it keeps things interesting!), is the undisputed king of Philly's love scene. Tourists flock to it, pigeons perch on it, and cheesy proposals happen in front of it. It's a right of passage, a photo op essential, and a constant reminder that love is a big, bold statement (and maybe a little off-kilter, but that's what makes it real, right?).
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
But Wait, There's More! The Not-So-Secret Love Variant
Now, things get a bit sticky. There's a second LOVE sculpture on the University of Pennsylvania campus. It's not quite the same as the LOVE Park one - different colors, a different vibe - but it's definitely got the LOVE spirit. So, is it a rogue LOVE imposter? A misunderstood cousin? A love child of artistic expression? The debate rages on in hushed tones over lukewarm lattes at coffee shops around Philly.
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
Here's the truth: This campus LOVE is considered a variant, a love letter (pun intended) to the original, but not quite the real deal.
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.

So, how many LOVE signs are there REALLY? It depends on your definition of "real." Technically, one. Officially, one. But unofficially, with a wink and a nudge, there's a sprinkle of extra love on Penn's campus.
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
