Crews Paint Rainbow Crosswalks In Center City

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- There is a new rainbow in Philadelphia that is sure to hang around, rain or shine.

Crews with the Streets Department spent all night painting rainbow crosswalks at 13th and Locust Streets.

The intersection is part of the Center City District called  the "Gayborhood."

The crosswalks represent the rainbow flag, which has become a symbol of the LGBT community.

An official dedication will take place on July 5, which marks the 50th anniversary of the nation's first LGBT rights demonstration.
