Don't much like it and I think there might be other, more interesting and fun ways to express the notion that life flies by and we should live each moment to the fullest..<br /><br />But, what the heck do I know and I don't live there and some people are going to be "incensed" by just about everything...except of course the notion that 45 million Americans are without health care, that we're in the middle of a depression...etc., ec.Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829127082846385987.post-14690563260763066032011-12-11T22:16:16.347-05:002011-12-11T22:16:16.347-05:00I am an old conservative fart.

I'm not up on my gang signs, so no comment there. ;-) I do like that the building owner is really concerned & trying to work with folks - I hope this resolves to satisfaction!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04375924951116249874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829127082846385987.post-58272267978056067662011-12-11T14:49:33.758-05:002011-12-11T14:49:33.758-05:00I can't really say I like the gang symbol, but...I can't really say I like the gang symbol, but I really like free expression.

If it was across the street from a church or a nice restaurant, I would say perhaps it's not appropriate, but in a more light industrial area (auto parts, gas stations etc) I would say it would be fine. JMO of course.Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328674280714013955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829127082846385987.post-59821304575330535352011-12-11T12:46:13.564-05:002011-12-11T12:46:13.564-05:00I don't find it controversial personally but I...I don't find it controversial personally but I applaud the owner for being concerned about how his neighbors are perceiving it.

I love the mural and hope that it stays. I think too much is being interpreted in the meaning of "Fast Life" and that the most negative connotation is being taken instead of how it can be used in a positive way.<br /><br />I saw somewhere, on some news report, that MTO got his inspiration for the hands and the Fast Life tattoo from a local who stated that his own Fast Life tattoo has no gang affiliation but serves as a reminder that life is short and you have to enjoy every minute you got.Dr. Moxie Awesomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05689332633520371804noreply@blogger.com
