Gorilla in East Hollywood

This is visible on the south side of Melrose (I lost my notes. I don't know what E/W street this on. Beverly?) if you're heading west through East Hollywood, a bit past the 101. It's been there for a long time, and shows some wear on it - or rather stupid, spray-painted words over the art. But in case it just suddenly vanishes, as these things are likely to do, I wanted to post these now. It's no masterpiece of the artform, but it's not bad either.
