Uh...folks, I'm not sure what to think about this. The new mural over the trash doors on the Elm Street side of Bethesda Lane is maybe a colorful improvement on the ground-level refuse area. But the part that's climbing up the wall, it's giving a bit of an "OMG look what somebody did during the night" vandalism vibe on an otherwise stately brick building - kind of like the bus bay rim at the Bethesda Metro Center. Maybe there's more to be added? By all means, weigh in down below in the comments.
10 out of 10 just for being something marginally outside the box in Bethesda.
ReplyDeleteI’m not sure I like the idea of murals splashed on buildings as so called street art. I believe it tends to encourage graffiti. Properly designed architecture does not need street art to create a vibrant streetscape. I think a better way to improve that area would be to wash down that nasty trash area more frequently, and keep the gates closed all the time, except when trash is being removed.
ReplyDeleteHow very . . . urban. Is this the designated spot for a future "chop shop" or shooting gallery? It looks like Baltimore, which, in this case, is not a good thing.
ReplyDeleteThumbs-down.
Can you tell with of the three of us moved out of Bethesda because it was so boring? Haha.
ReplyDeleteLooks great to me. Bethesda needs more youthful energy.
ReplyDeleteLooks like garbage and has no redeeming value at all - I bet even Hunter Biden could do better - naw, no he couldn't. All the crack and hookers in the world wouldn't help him.
ReplyDeleteLooks trashy.
