Why I love having artists in the neighborhood

If you've ever seen the amazing spacewoman/Barbarella garage door mural on Olive near 12th, you too will mourn its loss to an idiot tagger who obliterated it with his(?) spray painted tag signature.

Luckily for us, the house's resident turned this stupidness into an opportunity: there is now a giant Obama mural in Barbarella's place. Luckily for me, they blogged about it here.

The new mural looks really cool - I'm going to have to go check it out in person soon. Maybe bring the poor tag-beleaguered residents some cookies...
