Is this supposed to be the same wall?
That's inspiring.
I think that more people should carry a small amount of paint thinner and remove a little bit of graffiti when they walk to the bus/streetcar, or walk the dog. If a small number of vandals can our cities for their mindless entertainment, surely at least small group can also remove random stuff. There's an inherent shyness or perhaps apathy, but that probably wears away once you've removed the first bits. I recommend starting with public space.
Yeah, I'm also confused. If that is the same wall, that is a lot of work, not sure if I buy it.
It's not the same wall when you look closely. The foundation is different, the bricks are also slightly different. To be fair, however, it could be another section of the wall.
Still, some property owners do a fine job of removing graffiti and doing their part to improve our streetscapes. I salute them.
I don't think it's the same wall, unless they redid all of the brickwork — which is rather drastic for a buffing :)
its the same wall, they've been cleaning up that building now for over 6 months.
It's not the same spot on the wall. Everything's different -- the location of the concrete blocks, the bricks under the windowsill, the size of the bricks surrounding the window.
