Truth in Advertising. They should put up prices.

Ha! Fantastic shot.
May I editorialize? The "War on Drugs" is a pathetic joke.
Oh, and by the way add this to Word on the Street.

~whereabouts is this? I am headed to Uptown/Hill District this weekend to shoot~

This is on the left hand side of Fifth Ave, heading downtown, couple hundred feet after Jubilee. If you can find the huge DIVE tag on the open faced building, it's not too far after that.

So Bold! man, those crack dealers don't give a f__K! Hilarious, and tragic, capture, Hryckowian. Reminds me of a billboard I used to see in Wilmington on the way to Philly.."Kick Heroin in 4 Days!"... that such a billboard existed on a major interstate blew my mind.

This is like those signs you see in tourist areas: "Photo Spot Here". I have one from San Fran in my stream. cracks me up.

The grafitti shown here has been officially covered up. You can still get crack and any number of street drugs in the Hill (and just about anywhere in Pittsburgh), but the grafitti pointing out the problem has been washed away.
Big hand to our local governments and up, for giving us bandaids while we're hemoraging.
42n81 > Anti-Inanity (82 months ago | reply)
look at how many people are employed now because of this. coulda just been the dealer, but now you have an entire city department devoted to cleaning the walls, verifying that the walls have been officially cleaned, checking to see ifhte wall is greffiti free, someone sells the paint, someone to sell the cleaning products . . . it just goes on & on. you are focused on the dealer. widen your scope

i can't help but think of the contrary to this.
Businesses that sell dangerous products, alchohol, firearms, etc. Or Multinationals that have really crummy business records and labor problems, Starbucks, Nike, and these businesses affect even more people than the local crack dealer.
Its an enormous campaign, and I, hesitatingly, applaud the person painting these.

I cant believe a specialty shop can still exist in this economy - I would think that they would have to carry other diverse merch
