And street art is the polite term….others might just call it graffiti. I’m personally on the fence. Some realizations of it are better than others. My biggest worry, and the reason for making a post about it, is that it seems to be getting more common/prevalent in the area. I actually enjoy walking by Flink Ink to check out the new additions to its crumbling walls, but as soon as it begins to spread…it will be hard to stop.
