This is so cool. Finally, a story with no political, religeous or criminal overtones. What a relief. However, I can't help but wonder how long it will take for someone to turn this discussion into politics. We shall see.
NICE...in some neighborhoods in Boston you can still see ads painted on older buildings...very faded but still there..glad the art has not completely died out.
