Chicago Sidewalk and Budget

The Chicago budget deficit issue has risen to such a confrontational level in this city that it has driven me to do another post on what I believe is contributing to the overall waste.

Tagged cars in Barcelona

Graffiti in Barcelona

The images you see above are of very old doors in Barcelona. They are from 200 to sometimes 800 years old. I've spent six weeks in Barcelona and the level of tagging in this city has simple reached a disturbing level. Every surface you can imagine, from these doors to even cars on the street are tagged. What a shame. It is a beautiful city with an amazing history, all going to waste. The city looks like it is falling apart.
