Over the years, 41 Elmwood Avenue has gone from dreck to outrageous to banal to a mix of all of the aforementioned. The most recent makeover comes in the form of a more stylized graffiti paint job that, once again, draws attention to the nondescript structure without overwhelming the senses.
Hopefully this most recent paint job will be cause to celebrate the work of our local graffiti artists, rather than causing an uproar to have the work removed. The front side and the north side of the building both have unique traits, and add some visual eye candy to this already colorful section of Elmwood.
The last time that we saw a much more controversial paint job on this building was two years ago, almost to the day.
