Show Notes

The Toynbee Tiles first started appearing on the streets back in the early 80’s, initially just in Philadelphia, and then spreading up to New York as well as further out East, even making appearances in South America, specifically in Brazil, Chile, and Argentina.

What they are, or rather why, remains to be fully explained.

More importantly, how they appeared so discreetly, without anyone ever publically witnessing the tiler himself.
