Graffiti – AC/DC Lane, Melbourne CBD
Originally uploaded by Toots Fontaine
DC’s spending $100,000 over the next year to eradicate large graffiti murals by hiring folks to paint murals over them. The first mural went up this weekend in Northwest at Georgia & Fairmont near Howard.
12 other murals will go up this year; the designs for 6 have been approved already.

Any word on who’s going to be painting all of them? Teenagers did the first one, so I hope it continues in this trend of hiring artists.

If bOrt comes back and tags these, I will personally tag his house in the burbs.
