She doesn’t even live here.

She doesn’t even live here.

I know I have no dog in this fight, but seeing photos of 5 Pointz as it was always gave me shivers. It was important. Legalized graffiti is important. Giving people a hand in creating the landscape they want to live in is important.

The whitewash was inevitable. ”Progress” is inevitable. Multimillion dollar developments are inevitable.

5 Pointz couldn’t last forever, and I’m sure it was never meant to. The property owners have been more than generous in taking such care of it. And who knows, maybe the new developers will include the graffiti somehow, even as art inside. But whitewashing the whole thing seems like a preview of things to come; this area will never look like the old New York again.

Hi, I’m Dootsie. No, that’s not my real name, but it is the name that basically everyone in my life calls me. I am a 30 year-old editor/digital content trafficker/graphic designer living in Central Kentucky. When I’m not working on a magazine, I’m staring at a cat and pretending to be interesting. I’m incredibly officious and jam-packed with trivia.
