I was out with Jennifer R. today looking at parks, and she pointed out the Westminster Park on Westminster St. between S and T Streets NW, near 9th Street (picture below). It’s a great space, with a great mural. So I emailed my college alum, Shepard Fairey (you know, the genius behind the Obama posters) to see if he’d be interested in creating something for the billboard space.
I may be dreaming, but shucks, it’s worth a try.
(P.S. come to the next BACA meeting on July 13th @ 7:00 PM to brainstorm ideas for the lot!)

Wow! Could this neighborhood look that good?!?! Yes, I think so, but it will take some work.
I saw this controversy on a mural in Ledroit Park. 73 W St NW at http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/0709/637329_video.html?ref=newsstory
Yeah, if we did a mural, we’d definitely need to get buy in from the whole neighborhood on the design.
