This piece of graffiti or urban art, depending on your viewpoint, was taken a few weeks ago in Brooklyn NY. It's probably been there for some time, but I stumbled upon it smack bang in the middle of the current recession and had to snap it with my corporate soft focus Blackberry! The full text across two faces of the building reads, "open your eyes, no more corporate bullshit fuk wall st". This part of Brooklyn was part of the thriving industry that once existed here. Up until recently it was probably prime for redevelopment into luxury housing over-looking the circa 1869 waterways of the Gowanus region. Perfect for gentrification. There were definately positives from the recent boom activity, but it was all happening at an unsustainable pace. More measured purposeful steps are what we now need, at a pace better suited to the majority.
