[editor]

Someone's putting some love back into Brixton.

I cycled past this morning and saw it. I like it

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

I like this but I would like to see more of it, like the pro-peckham post-it collage.

Lat year I saw a notice on the broken window of a JobCentre Plus office :- "Glazier Wanted."

I forgot to add in was a printed notice, obviously a pre-planned attack on the JobCentre.

hm, could be interesting if the plod stop and search some youth and find some spray paint on them.

Honest guv, it's for me to spray messages of peace on Brixton's Peace Wall

You're nicked sonny

A pocketful of post its would be innocent enough though, wouldn't it?

Absolutely, unless there's any WH Smiths that were looted

AFAIK the Brixton one was boarded up before anyone got a chance to do that. Post its it is.

Wonder who'll put up the first Love to U75 one up

 

[Lord Camomile]

Similar thing happening in Woolwich.

 

[Pickman's model]

frankly i'd be more impressed if it had a more, er, forthright message

Feel free to get down there and add your own.

^ LOL Woolwich:

"Not all of us are like this. I was at my house and wasn't allowed out"

"Stop blameing the parents"

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Oh bugger, just went out with a Sharpie to add to this and got distracted by fruit in the Market. Only remembered when I unpacked my shopping and got to the bottom of the bag.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

This is disgusting behaviour, and don't you all be moaning when you see the streets covered in grafitti. You should be setting an example.

I hope you're all thoroughly ashamed of yourselves

Please continue

Here's a follow up. Suffice to say local stores haven't been running out of post-it notes.

[Mrs Magpie]

It's apparently much easier to stick stuff onto the plywood hoardings in Peckham and Woolwich than the type of boards used in Brixton. Sticky tape etc just falls off the Brixton one.

Once again the media ignores Woolwich

Not quite sure what “I <diamond> my Brixton” means, either!

I thought it was a kiss, with lipstick.

 

[Badgers]

I guess it is gone now?

Here is a snap of one Clapham wall taken from bus

 

[porno thieving gypsy]

I like it, makes me smile when otherwise I'd frown at the burn out shop

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'm hoping the boards will be saved in some way, think it's important to hold onto them.

 

[editor]

It's still smouldering away...

I agree, but a lot of people seem to be really cynical about it.

My favourite graffiti so far, seen today on the boarded up Debenhams window in Clapham

The hoardings are off and the building work is nearly completed at the old Footlocker shop. The unit has been split into three new shops. One good touch is a new angled entrance doorway on the corner of Brixton Road/Atlantic Road, which makes that corner look a lot nicer and welcoming. Also good to have the pavement back, which should stop kamikaze shoppers stepping into the Atlantic Road traffic.

One of the new shops moving in is 3mobile , not sure about the others yet. If no one takes them up in the next week or two I guess they'll be filled up with Christmas tat before long...

Maybe there'll be a 98p shop!

For fuck's sake. Another mobile shop

I only noticed last week there's one where Websters was. How long's that been there?
