…other than your value…as a person.

I found my favorite new piece of graffiti (a scribbley tag, really) this morning: “YOUR SALARY MEANS NOTHING”. This is on the top of a building in Woodley Park on Connecticut Ave. I can’t imagine that it will last very long up on the face of this building but it made it through the day so that made me happy. I enjoy “public service messages” aimed at making people think a little bit. They snap you out of your daily zone for just a moment.
I’ve come across a few similar messages scrawled around DC that I thought were worth snapping a photo. On an overpass near the Kennedy Center we found “THE BUBBLE WILL BURST”. I found “Save Our City” with a nice rendition of the DC flag. This freshly painted white wall that used to display a fun and colorful mural off of 18th St. in Adams Morgan asks “Where’s the ART?”. These messages don’t have a “style” per se so it is tough to tell if they are from the same hand but they help to add some interesting character to the daily urban fabric. Of course I’d never support the destruction of O.P.P (Property, that is).

But I noticed today that it’s gone…
