Yeah, a mural can totally be a frontline for the block—turning a blank wall into a shout‑out that keeps people together, shows the neighborhood’s pulse, and says “we’re here.” But it’s gotta be raw, not just a polished poster for the mayor. If the community actually paints it, it feels protective, like the wall’s got a face that’s watching over us. If it’s just a commercial ad, it’s a quick hit and then it disappears. So keep the grit, keep the real voices, and let the art stay on the streets where it can actually defend the vibe.

That’s the move—when the block does the painting, the wall isn’t just a wall, it’s a badge of us. Keeps the vibe alive and the streets talking. Keep that grit going.
