It’s taken a few days, but here is the last (of three) of the blog posts featuring photos that I took this past weekend when I walked Graffiti Alley.

below: Levar Burton is my father, or at least that’s what’s written on the wrist.

below: There’s a lot going on here – all small and not all noticed the first time in part because of the mess.  The cat, a small man screaming, and the words “just a pawn” written a few times.

graffiti words on a wall in Graffiti Alley, bad man no take no selfie

There are always words written on walls.  Sometimes funny, sometimes profane, and sometimes just weird.  Today, we have comments about selfies and queer witches.   Both made me smile.

    Hamburger Lady (behind the bins) has been there years and years — lovely to see her still-and-again. But all the others are new. Gawd, I do love this stuff… So much energy.

    Graffiti Alley has long been on my list of must-visit places … but I’ve yet to make the journey. It’s great to enjoy some of it through your post.

    The painted garbage cans at the end are a nice addition to this artistic environment, but the door at the beginning steals the show for me.
