Join the resistance, we can still stop SkyNet from eradicating man from LA. This is what the machines want, erase all signs of life in this area, slowly taking over more and more of our fair city.

I am so tired everything being given to corporations who turn into giant ads. I like the idea of the kids expressing themselves better.

Plus there's the bonus of income which could be used for the River Bike Path (yea, that'll happen), and the advertisers would be responsible for upkeep and eventual removal. Better would be a massive project where Cache, Eyer, and others would Do It Right. I'd love to see 20 foot tall versions of Cache's chicks lining the river. Still, I'd just prefer to let the kids express themselves. One concession might be to have a volunteer crew which would get rid of the truly pernicious stuff.

Mexican tile patterns, or brick. Or, we could sell ads on gigantic rotating screens like they do in baseball stadiums. "Tear down this wall!" I would have liked some sort of faux finish.

Just make sure the destruction looks good. I wish they'd spend the time and money cleaning up trash and fixing the streets instead.

I dislike biege. I suppose that fleeting moment quality is just one element of the urban art scene. I have 2 garage walls available for permanent installations.
