Funny graffiti story...

There used to be an underpass under some RR tracks, off of (I think) Madison Ave. south of downtown Indy. When cruising between the "hip" part of Madison (down by the speed shop) and downtown, we would cut thru there on occasion. I remember seeing a girl's name spray painted in large (4-foot or so) letters on one wall of the underpass.

Four years later I met that girl. Another 6 years later I married her. Somewhere in that time, it dawned on me that the spray painted name was hers (it is a unique name), and she confirmed it. She and her friends cruised the same area, at about the same time, and one convinced her to grab a spray can and go to town. She and I likely crossed paths years before we actually met.

Sadly, that has all been torn out. The underpass is no more.

edit: still married, by the way. She is not allowed near spray paint.

Found this one while looking for the above billboard. Not graffiti but still funny.

See alot of decent stuff working for the railroad. Got a bunch of pics of the good stuff.

It really IS written on the wall in the head at Capt Tony's:

To the uninitiated: "I ate the last Mango in Paris, Took the last plane out of Saigon, took the first fast boat to China and Jimmy, there's still so much to be done!"

Sorry about the framing and quality of the pic, by the time I took this I was having a little trouble holding a steady course myself!

Back in the day at IU, some vegan had spray painted "Meat is Murder" on some concrete in a parking area.

Someone else had spray painted "My" at the beginning, at an angle.

Made me laugh, even though it doesn't really make any sense.

When I was at Indiana State I saw “Guys don’t make passes at girls with fat asses”.

Oh, how times have changed!

One day, in the mid-to-late 1980s, I was driving to class at Ball State. I'd turned off Wheeling on (I think) Riverside, heading toward McKinley and there on the sandy-colored brick of a building wall, in fairly neat letters about a foot and a half tall, in black spray paint was the message "Dietrich has Crabs"

I always wondered if it was a funny insult or an earnest warning.

It's all in the marketing. Kind of like the people that actually believe that Corona is a great beer.
