Work continues on the SW corner of Avenue C and Sixth Street, where the wall is being prepped for a new mural by Thrive Collective's Marissa Molina — described as a "celebration of the neighborhood," per Jonathan Neville (below) of First Street Green Art Park.
He was joined by NYC-based artist OuterSource...
The wall previously featured the long-running "Alphabet City" mural, which lasted nearly 11 years before falling into disrepair and being relentlessly tagged. It was painted over last summer.
This one-story windowless structure — as mysterious as it is nondescript — is said to be used now by Astound Broadband, an American telecommunications holding company.
