    Kind of takes a bit of the fun out of it, though.

    That's strange. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Brooklyn, but maybe the same artist has tagged Manhattan...or I saw it in a book, lol.

    A wise person once said about graffiti, that the people who did it should be ashamed because when they had the chance to create something beautiful, they made something ugly. I think she meant tagging though.

    Wait, that was a person in a movie called "The Gryphon".

    Ah well. Wise saying anyway.

    ummm okay audrey wait swears a bunch but its a fantastic book
    the book theif swears in german
    i am the messenger swears a ton
    umm the john greene books swear a kittle but i think an abundance of Katherines has the least amount
    the luxe series is like a way toned down historical fiction mystery romance gossip girl
    wayyyyy better than gossip girl
    and thats it

    I live in a small city in NC, but we have some cool street art. Someone goes around and sprays these little turtles and fish everywhere. We also have some really amazing murals downtown. They rock. :)
