Quick! Get in the car and drive to/on the 5 at Stadium Way. Today, January 6, 2007, there is no graffiti on one of LA's most phenomenal murals. Yes, you can see this PRISTINE Kent Twitchell "LA Marathon" Mural in person. This was moved here from the 405 in Inglewood about 2 years ago. Recently, it had been practically obliterated by graffiti, but now, today, it's clean. (And no, this is NOT the "creepy" LA Marathon Mural on the 10.)
How long will it last without a tag? Again, I urge you to go today!

Oh we are so lucky to have 'inherited' this magnet--sorry, mural. Now Echo Park/Elysian Valley gets all the lovely graffiti. Thanks Caltrans!
