The beast on the wall

Maybe this is one of those times when there’s nothing I can say that will add anything to the photo….

After I got through looking at this building, I wandered to the vacant place next door. The sign on the front proclaimed it to be a hail-repair business (which tend to come and go, depending on the weather: this one was out of business), but the back wall held this important message.

Who are the villains here?

Is it odd to have a favorite kind of graffiti? Probably.

But, still, I think train-car graffiti is my favorite.

I understand that it’s vandalism. And that probably the only way to paint a train car involves trespassing. But I still like it.

(My dad recently told me, in sort of Stern Dad voice, that I “needed to make sure to stay off the train’s property” when I was shooting. Because no matter how old I am, I’m still his daughter.)

On the top level of a parking garage along South Beverly Drive, I spotted this bit of graffiti. And a security camera. Or, perhaps more accurately, a “security” camera.

Just because it looks like graffiti

As a general rule, I would say that anytime you see something that looks like it’s graffiti, but that includes a Twitter hashtag and what looks like a copyright symbol, you may be dealing with something else entirely.

Like this, which is actually an advertisement for a place where you could play ping-pong by day and listen to live music by night.

I don’t know…something seems horribly wrong here.

Still gone…still internet-less. Got a comment? Please leave it, and I will reply when I am back. That’ll be July 7, if you are keeping score at home.
