Partially dissed mural production by unknown writer from maybe from circa 2003-05. The Johnny Cash tribute gives a clue on the date. I heard this was done by a college student, but at the time I didn’t pay attention to legal graffiti really. This may have been the first legal production in town. Some of this mural is still running today. Some photos from 2012 of a dissed-Sufr tribute by Rot with a handwritten “thank you” letter. Anx by Sufr from 2013. Sufr piece from July 2003 and a birthday piece for Danime.

Old railroad signage and still present cast iron manhole covers. Photos are from 2013-2026.

Here are some before (Feb 2017), during (May 2017), and after (Nov 2017) photos of the replacement of the North Twentieth Street Bridge. Only the pillars remain, the decking and street were replaced and raised slightly to allow for new railroad clearance standards. The original bridge was erected in 1975 on what was then the Penn Central mainline just west of the PC Richmond Yard. The news clipping is from the Pal Item, June 6, 1975, retrieved from newspapers dot com. A few highlights are a blue “Punk” old school piece with a red outline from the 1990s, and forgotten Mono and Arso beef from 2003ish.

Here are some past photos of the historic railroad bridge that is now in the process of being replaced. Photos are from 2013 – 2020.

Some digital photos from 1/26/2013, plus some extras. Highlights: visible Seek bomb from the 1990s, old Esoes and Muk, Sufr streak from 2006 covered, Kwiz outline with crown. Photos 1-15: 2013. 16. King Kwiz from the 90s, scanned print from 2008ish, 17-21: old Esoes, still there Dec 2023, Seek still there in 2016, Eso Muk remains 2020.

Here’s a couple photos of my paint stash circa 2002. Painter’s Touch, Rusto, American Accents, Krylon, some discount Red Devil. A lot of paint was found from time to time at closeout stores like Big Lots. Also, in 2002 or 03 Krylon and Rusto discontinued a lot of colors and they were cheap. I’ve also included a photo of the Krylon section in Wack-Mart from 2003ish (photo supplied from the archives)…Check the prices.

This SUFR piece done with mostly scrap cans ran from 2003 until about 2019. I believe it has a Sail Blue Rusto outline and 3D and an unsual silver cloud. To the right of it was a very early NOR fill-in, who began writing NURO shortly after. Here are some photos of the piece’s aging process. These cinderblock buildings in the Gorge have been buffed and repainted a few times, but this one had a good stretch. The addition of the chainlink fence helped preserve it as well.

What’s a couple decades of layers when it comes to the Whitewater Gorge, which began forming 440 million years ago?

The side of this historic building collapsed in 2022. The Eso and Muk throws from the early 2000s had a long happy life and a nice view of the liquor store and Purina. (1. 2013 2. 2020 3-6. 2022 7-8 Nearby throws still running today, pic from 2021.)

The only known untouched Kwiz piece in existence is still holding it down in 2026, and turns 31yrs old this year. Its future is questionable as its location becomes more accessible to the public. Enjoy it while it lasts. Also, I’ve included an old master study of the piece from 2023.
