It’s the end of an era! The graffiti towers in Downtown LA are on their way out. Not gonna lie, I’m sorta sad about it. We all knew this day would come, but that graffiti represents a gritty part of LA culture to me. Art amidst the urban chaos. And the fact that it popped up overnight is part of the lore. But all things must come to an end.

Speaking of art and chaos…
