Two recent street sightings remind me what’s great about this town and that ‘street art’ isn’t simply something designed to end up on a Threadless tee shirt:
1. At Forsyth and Stanton (maybe Rivington), both the north and south crossing signals (east side) have stickers affixed to them that, upon the illumination of the ‘walk’ signal, transform into a Lucha Libre character (and different ones at that). Cut so they are wearing the prototypical unitard, the lights create suspenders and fill out the mask. Viewing angle is important for the full effect.
2. On one of the support columns of the Williamsburg Bridge as you travel down Delancy (right about Columbia Street) there is a hasty, sloppy testament to “Senator Chuck Schumer”. No context, no image, no additional message. Just in case you forgot, I guess, who is the senior senator from New York.
UPDATE: Some people have pointed out that I am little late on noting Item 1 above (and yes, the lineage certainly increases the likelihood of showing up at Neighborhoodies any second). But New York has yet to do a piece on politico graffito hagiography. Thus endeth the saddest attempt at insider baseball ever.

That she doesn’t have her own yet is another clear sign of the vast right wing conspiracy.
