I can't imagine it's because of me, but I'm sorry to hear it's been erased. Some of those tags had been there for years. I need to go back out and check it again.
old stuff goes down, new stuff goes up. It's what happens!

I've never understood why people complain about other people taking photos. Sure, it might once in a while result in something getting buffed, but if you don't want to be documented, don't put your shit out in public. Just spray paint your mom's fence. That shit'll ride for years.

We might be seeing the beginning of a real increase in the battle between writers and the city coming up. YOu think?
