Some B-side photos of these green cinder-block buildings. Digital photos from early Oct. 2013. These mostly got painted before the addition of the barbwire fences.

Some scenic shots from under the G Street Bridge, October 13, 2013.

This rusty semi-retired Southern gondola was assigned Maintenance of Way duty in the area, when some rust-preventive surface enamel was applied by Sufr and Shore in 2003. Scans from the negatives.

Some early Sufr fill-ins, from early in the year 2000, while style developing his style, and omitting the 3d. ETC (unaffiliated with Canadian ETC) was a crew of Nuro and Sufr. The crew name was abandoned, and it became Richmond’s RC (Rolling Canvas) crew. The white fill-in was under the former Main Street Bridge. It’s over a Senoz, over a Sir, over Escape, over Kwiz. The mini production beneath had a piece that read, “Toys go home”, with a frog character (I believe wearing a crown), and a unique “King Quiz” piece that utilized a masking process for the fill design. “ES” throw-ups and tags are seen throughout. Scans from the negatives.

There was a simple fill-in, tag, and a character by “La Femme” under the now demolished South 9th Street Bridge. I had never seen it anywhere else in town. First pic, circa 2001, scan from negative, 2-3: Jan 2013, and 4: Aug 2013.

More shots of the historic bridge. SUFR fill-in (looks like all Krylon, with almost the same fill color as the buff paint) from 2001, scans from the negatives. Shot of an eastbound NS autorack train crossing the Gorge probably from around the same time or a little later.

This themed Kwiz piece has a seen a lot, it was dissed even when I first discovered it with friends in the year 2000. In Sept of 2024, I was able to spend some more time analyzing it through the recent disses, and then two months later it was mostly covered up. Photo 1: Scanned print, circa 2002,03, 2: Oct 2012, 3: Aug 2013, 4: Nov 2016, 5: Feb 2017, 6: Feb 2019, 7-8. Christmas Day, 2020, 9-11: Sep 2024, 12: Nov 2024.

The Ramada Inn was a long standing hotel on the east-side of town. When it became abandoned it was explored by local youngsters and quickly became an eyesore. The pool was square and could not be skateboarded, but here is a picture of the swimming pool. The famous “Des Octo-piece” is in the corner. I’m not sure about date of the photo, maybe 2004 or earlier. The whole site is a car lot now.

Dynamic Monochrome, I believe was the name of the filter setting on my digital camera that I used on these photos of the ruins of the PRR yard. These were taken in February of 2017, nine years ago.

The infamous Bad Apple character by unknown artist, who also probably did the piece to the left of the apple. Photos 1-2: Oct 2013, 3: Jan 2015, 4: Aug 2016, 5: Scanned print, circa 2012, detail of the Sufr from 2003, which was around the corner.
