The San Francisco Chronicle writes that the South of Market Child Care Center in San Francisco, is moving to a new location, and selling a giant mural by the Keith Haring that was painted on the wall of their gym. The mural was appraised at between one and two million dollars by Christie’s, and the center plans to use money to pay off the new facility. At the same time, Agence France-Presse reports on tougher rules or laws on graffiti in New York, including a higher age limit for possessing “graffiti instruments” and harsher penalties for those with an “intent to make graffiti.”
What exactly are/is “graffiti instruments” and “intent to make graffiti.” Fuck you. I know the New York of the late seventies/early eighties is gone but why dont they just put a bubble on the city, build a big parking lot somewhere, and call it a mall and be done with it.
