Mural by Union Market

I never noticed this mural on Florida Ave, NE before. I love it. It’s located a block east of the entrance to Union Market.

It Really Works

15th_st_garage_mural

This mural was painted to deter graffiti taggers who would regularly vandalize this spot on 15th Street, NW. I’m so psyched to see that after many months – the cool mural remains. (Knock wood, knock wood.) Though this project is not affiliated, it makes me appreciate the Murals DC program that much more.

Dear PoPville – Parking Sign Painted on Mural at 14th and Randolph St, NW

Dear PoPville,

I live pretty much across the street from the cardboard pizza-maker Washington Pizza, so I watched the progress of that somewhat controversial mural. But I noticed that I assume the owner of the pizza place took it upon himself to paint in some open space of the mural: Washington Pizza parking only! In addition to spray painting the area on the ground in front of the mural. I’ve only ever seen a cop park up on the sidewalk there. And I’ve never seen anyone purchase pizza from them.

What I wanna know is where the hell does this guy get off defacing a mural with a pointless message like that? How is this ok?

Another Good “Duck/Coffee Cup” Mural

Last week a reader asked the artist of these drawings/murals. At the time someone mentioned this one from 18th Street in Adams Morgan. Very cool.

Awesome Alley Mural

Not a bad spot for a morning cup of coffee or breakfast burrito either.
