Wow, the LAT commenters' cane-shaking practically comes through the screen. "Durn kids with their aero-sol cans and their tattoos...get a job ya hippy! I tell ya this town's gone ta hell!"
Something's missing though. Can I get a, "Why back in my day...?"

This wall was setup at Venice beach to give street artist (and i am not referring to idiot taggers) a place to do what they do legally. This setup actually helps curb (albeit only a little) illegal graffiti. This wall is enjoyed by the artist and the on-lookers. So it's not such a bad thing.

The walls are there for people to paint, perfectly legal as far as I know.
