Well, you presume it was approved. A good stencil lends an air of legitimacy and authority.
These two were on sidewalk slabs near one another, just outside our building on campus. I wonder how many different bits of sloganeering that the Office of Sidewalk Painting created. It’s a big campus.
The #LocaleStrong thing is a bit tired. We should have retired that one with Boston. Let them keep it, they did it well. Now it’s a Beantown thing, and we all need our own hashtags. I just counted the mentions on Twitter. There’s been 62 uses of that hashtag since the beginning of the term two weeks ago. Most of them from official accounts. A few of the individual usages have been tongue-in-cheek. One was showing off a picture of the stencil work.
Just down the way, on the same block, some of the other signs were destroyed, and thrown into the creek.
I guess they didn’t see the stenciled, approved, graffiti.
