Mysterious Tagger DWP Strikes Again
By Kevin Who Looks At Signs - Wednesday October 18th 2006 |
A day doesn’t go by without our fair city being graffitied by the ever-elusive tagger, DWP. Sometimes his tags stretch for hundreds of feet, yet he’s never been been caught. When will the city finally stand up for itself and stop this menace?
Sign Waves: Relax with Art & Cigars

| Is your job too demanding? Did you just get into a heated argument with your significant other? Were you stuck in traffic all day? RELAX WITH ART & CIGARS at the La Plata Cigar Company in downtown L.A.
Why doesn’t LACMA sell some quality hand-rolled? I’d love to unwind with a stogie while I admire the Kandinskys. La Plata Cigar Company |

Why can’t more L.A. businesses be as direct as Sidney’s Shoe Store? Stop wasting people’s time and start advertising your store with honest taglines like “Clothes Only Overpriviliged Women Can Afford”, and “Cars For Men Who Need To Compensate For Their Shortcomings.”
Which reminds me, I need to pick up a pair of tan chinos at Pants For Fat People.

Harry Dean Stanton Leaves His Mark

Although a more fitting location would be outside a bar, this mysterious concrete monument to The Man stands on a patch of sidewalk near the DGA at Sunset and Fairfax. It is uncertain whether Harry did this himself (in which case it would have been with his bare finger in dry concrete) or a minion etched the inscription, but you can rest assured that generations to come will marvel at the landmark. Who needs a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame when you’ve got this?
