Yesterday, they buffed this



In the morning, it was sitting there in all its glory at the top of the Terrace. By nightfall, it had been painted over in black. It had to happen eventually.

I had always thought that buffing off graffiti, as the obscene double to tagging and stenciling, would also have to take place under cover of night. After all, it is a controversial act that often makes walls look worse than before. But somebody must have just rolled right up in broad daylight and brazenly painted this over.
