Not to long ago you might remember reading about the cover-up of “The Tacoma Graffiti Garages”. Well I’ve been keeping a close eye on them so you don’t have to.
Presenting the new and improved Graffiti Garages:
pssshhh. Amateurs.
what hapened to the good stuff??
was painted over
Okay, so, lemme get this right.
After the garage owner gave permission to Plus One and all the other good artists tag her walls, the city government makes her erase it. But now she has to deal with this crap, which wouldn’t have been there if she got to keep the stuff from before. No artist is going to want to spent the time to paint here when the city government will fine the owners if they don’t erase it within 7 days.
Seven days or you pay hundreds of dollars in fines. Just let artists do as they please. No harm done. If the government doesn’t like urban culture, then maybe they should rule over Enumclaw and get out of Tacoma.
