Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
I am passing through on my way to my home in Minnesota but I can`t help comment on your feature in Tempo recently on graffiti:
One man`s graffiti is another man`s art? Humbug! Vandalism by any other name would smell as bad.
Graffiti is a manifestation of what the ersatz artist, with his spray can, thinks of his city.
Chicago might do well to scrutinize a city like Montreal, with more than a million-and-a-half population. Subways are clean and so are its buses and the facades of buildings.
What`s the secret? For one thing, the French Canadians take pride in their city. Other Canadian cities (Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver) bespeak the same pride.
