Leroy Stanton

Leroy Stanton listens for Philadelphia's tempo in the clatter of construction sites and the laughter spilling from corner bars, transcribing the city’s blue-collar symphony with a reporter’s curiosity and a regular’s ease. He gravitates toward the stories etched into factory walls and lunch-counter stools, serving them up with the unvarnished honesty of someone who’s walked every block twice.
