It's been a lifelong dream for Al Goldberg. As he see's it, Rogers Park doesn't have enough murals. Well, here's a new one that's popped up on the Glenwood side of the Reside on Morse building recently. You can't miss it. It's really, really big. You can see it from the Morse Avenue EL platform. What do you guys think? Thumbs up or thumbs down?

I'm going to go with a thumbs down. Just like the thumbs down I give for the tagging that is going up everywhere. Go down to Loyola Park and find virtually every sign or marquis graced with a tag.
Thumbs UP!!
Maybe time to replace Chalkie.
Irish Man, Black Man and sometimes fat woman walk into a bar in Copenhagen. The bar tender ask where you from, Irish man says the machine, The sometimes fat woman say from the Windy City, The black man says where the US president was the night he won the election.
The bar tender replied OH you mean "Nolympics" Illinois.
Yes the world now knows about Chicago.
The mural could benefit from some color hard to tell in a thumbnail. Time will tell if this blends with the corporate tagging along Morse and on the EL cars. Sort of see this as RP branding. Would be very disappointed to find out this mural was elsewhere in the city.
NOMFP as long as the Murals are Not On My Fucking Property it is really easy to see the artist value.
Needs more color IMO
With this continued territorial marking soon it will be more difficult to walk my dog. If I had my own spray can I might just paint over this and leave my own mural. it would include flowers, and people singing and dancing around a band playing The New World Symphony. Then the people who sport this 'old school' art might leave the area.
For some time Ive been aware that our information filtering system is in overdrive. We are inundated with so much information and theres no end in site. bwalker calls it corporate tagging ....... well said, but its not only on Morse and the El cars but on every surface from the clothes you wear to the food you eat to the blogs you read. You name it, its been tagged.
a three year old could do better!
We don't need more ugly murals which some people have the nerve & gall to call art!
The murals painted on a few underpasses of viaducts around here are awful. Just garbage from HS kids.
There's nothing wrong with a blank wall.
When I ride Metra now, almost every freight car I see has been tagged & that's what Glenwood Ave. will look like if these fools get their way!
No Corporate Tagging at Wrigley but on the SS every square inch is for sale.
What does Al Goldberg have to do with this, and why drag his good name down?
You can see some of the murals and listen to Alan Goldberg talk about them, in these YoChicago videos:

That was fast. Graffiti busters are removing the mural this morning as we speak.
Art? There is nothing artistic about that junk. Thumbs down!! Call, call, call 311 and the Alderman's office to remove all the graffiti and tagging that's everywhere!
bwalker - needs to come out his basement and stop trying to make "creative" teabagger signs...lol.
What is a teabager sign and why in my basement?
I like some graffiti and some of the murals(sanctioned graffiti) and some of the advertisements (sanctioned tagging).
How did that translate to t-bagging signs? Did you mean t-bagging sounds?
Or is that to much to swallow?
As I have stated many times graffiti
busters responds quickly and gets the job done. I have had my garage doors vandalized so many times they are there within 24 hours of when I call
