Real in L.A.

The neighbor who had layers of his retaining wall scraped off by an errant driver understandably wished to repair the damage. But in doing so, he painted over the charming graffiti that appeared shortly after the accident.

He also made the mistake of painting the wall charcoal gray, instead of the previous lovely, soft green.

A lesson in impermanence, I suppose.

N.B. The wall has since been painted a luscious milk chocolate brown.
