JR heads back downtown and stages his most inventive composition yet on 3rd and Hewitt. Working amidst disgruntled parking lot owners, cranky loft owners and random photographers looking to get in on the action, JR's day is always an interesting one.

The second piece of the day starts to go up on all sides of the Poodle Parlour, a production warehouse space on Hunter and Santa Fe. You may not recognize it without the Pink Elephant or Brangelina. Yep, it's the old site of Banksy's landmark Barely Legal show in 2006.
