In which my neighborhood tries to offend you

Don’t you hate it when crap does that to you?

Graffiti is a lot more common in Europe than in the US. Sometimes it will alarm our American visitors, leaving them wondering if they’ve wandered into a bad neighborhood. Nope, even the fancy ones have it.

(This last photo doesn’t highlight the subject very well, but if you look closely you’ll notice an ambulatory yellow-green penis on the left.)

  1. It wasn't always like that. Graffiti started to become popular in Germany around the time that many US cities made an effort to clean up and prevent annoyance crimes. From my observations, I didn't start to see graffiti to any real level in Germany until around 1998. I think it's a shame and the Germans should make it a priority to enforce its verboten-ness.

  2. I have a great collage of Graffiti from a trip to Portugal. Regensburg has a new tagger who puts 'Hawaii' on everything. It's making want to pack up and go.

  3. Duckie – Don't know that one. Off to google it…

    Tammy – I suppose 'Hawaii' is a lot better than the 'fuckuall' which is showing up all over Munich.

  4. Ok, now I'm on a mission to start noticing graffiti. I usually screen it out. Thanks! But I should be so lucky to find an ambulatory you-know-what. I don't dare hope.

  5. I'm on a vacation & breather from blogging for a few weeks, but I scrolled down through my fav blogs & saw this entry. Hilarious! Not hilarious for the owners of the buildings, but a hilarious topic 😉 Your blog never fails to make me laugh!
