Historic Graffiti Buffed, Enthusiasts Collectively Moan, Forget It’s Graffiti
While I’d love to pen a eulogy for the recently buffed REVS and COST graffiti that has adorned a massive wall above the High Line for time immemorial and rant about gentrification etc., there’s no need: it’s graffiti! Be happy that it lasted this long and hope the dynamic duo return to displace all the tidiness. |VanishingNY via Gothamist|

Editor-in-Chief:
Good point. Plenty of people, including myself, get too caught up in preservation, but it's graffiti. The physical is ephemeral, but 1000 people took good photos. It's preserved.
That was like a real landmark – nice to see they couldn't get it all the way.
