Eye wash



A graffiti scrub team paid a visit to this spot next to the Big Bar on Seventh Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue earlier today... and blasted that fish eye art that has been here for several years. (Four years? Three years? I know I did a post when it arrived.)

Not sure why someone decided to have this cleaned now... thanks to Derek Berg for these photos...

    One of the less objectionable, and actually sort of cute, graffiti pieces, so of course let's take it away.

    That truck is from the NYC Economic Development Corp., a city-run "non-profit" that's been handing low income neighborhoods to commercial developers for 30 years.

    The same NYC Economic Development Corp. that handed LIC to Amazon in a silver platter.

    Reminds me also of Demolition Man -- how everything in that dystopian future is clean and that Taco Bell will be the only restaurant one can go to.
