I'm a few miles away from the epicenter, and have seen a few signs
|
||
|
|
myself. All of the following are just sprayed with a can of paint, and
|
||
|
|
therefore could also be considered graffitee
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One of the more famous is a sheet of plywood on one of the freeways
|
||
|
|
leading into L.A.:
|
||
|
|
Welcome to L.A. Some assembly required.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Down the street from me is a storefront, boarded up for 3 months now, that
|
||
|
|
proclaims:
|
||
|
|
"We repair glass"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
About a mile from me is an apartment building whos front half decided to
|
||
|
|
move North and down about 6 feet (the back half was satisfied where it
|
||
|
|
was), on it's side is:
|
||
|
|
Rooms for rent: $10.00
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On the "original signs looking a little foolish" side of things is the
|
||
|
|
building about 50 feet from the glass repair place that has a big
|
||
|
|
"Contractors School" sign, and no walls on the third floor. There are
|
||
|
|
also literally hundreds of buildings still declaring vacancys while
|
||
|
|
surounded by fencing. A lot of these have rear ends of crushed cars
|
||
|
|
sticking out from under them, or they are split in two, or no longer have
|
||
|
|
walls, or any of a number of obvious problems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
L.A. has become a somewhat surreal experience, but then I guess it always
|
||
|
|
was.
