Train Scrawl

We're all used to seeing krushed train cars with dope burners... well these cars also collect smaller scrawls that require a more up close and personal inspection. We caught a few of these...

Whatever became of the Pipe Yards ?

Circa 2010, the Pipe Yards were one of the most epic spots to chill and paint in the West. It was a virtual playground of empty walls and pipes for days. IT hosted writers, homeless camps, 2am bonfires, weekend bbq's and hella random shit. You never knew who you'd pop into down there. Eventually word got out and everybody within 100 miles came out to paint this spot. It was a layup for graffiti hunters. You were assured fresh flicks of multiples pieces with each visit. Slowly over time the pipes started disappearing and the yard became smaller... now there are no pipes. The crane is gone. Nothing remains but a giant dirt pile and some weeds. The graffiti has even gone to shit. Nobody goes there anymore.. It's a damn shame when a yard disappears.
booo!
here's a few links to some of our past postings profiling the pipe yards. Compare then and now...

Under the Bridge

Bridges, they look so unassuming as you drive over them. You'd never know about the art galleries they contain underneath. That's why we are here...
