Some recent highlights of freights rolling through town.

Here is a picture from 2013 of a barely visible Hip2 tag. This spot has since been demolished. Also, see these other two posts about the same artist…

Here is a Sufr/Bujah shot with my first digital camera in November 2004. Caught in a nearby town at a former layup spot.

A couple of old tags by KAA$. The first pic was taken in the early 2000s, the 2nd taken in 2013. Not sure is it is pronounced “Cash” or what. But one of these tags was dated 1989 from what I can tell, which makes it the earliest dated non-civilian graffiti tag that I know of in the city.

Richmond is a small city so I periodically check out the same spots over & over again for years and years, but it is fun to try to look for new stuff and different perspectives every time.

Checked on an aging Kwiz, one of only 3 known surviving pieces by the artist. You can read more about it here…https://richmondindgraffiti.com/2020/04/16/kwiz-co-bridge/

Here are some photos from 2013 that were used for a zine I used to do, called “Seal of Approval”.

I got to see some action at one of the local scrap metal yards in town. Takes me back to the old days when this small yard was still utilized. I’ve also included some scans of old flicks from the early 2000s. Including one of my favorite photos, a grimy Felon throw up on a stamped Rail Gon just like the recent photo. This was a former C&O line.

And finally…recently I noticed a C&O Right of Way marker where they had cleared away brush further north in town on this former line. In 2015, I found a more weathered one just south of that location. At one time, it was part of the same line to the scrap yard, but was converted into a walking/biking trail in the late 90s/early 2000s.

Some things that have caught my eye around town, and a lot of buffed tags.
