Save The Planet ~ Pico Union

9:24 AM PDT on May 1, 2012

On April 20-22, 2012 the Pico Union neighborhood was treated to a brand new Earth Day Mural by the STP graffiti crew. The Earth Day mural is up at Lucy’s Drive Thru at the intersection of Pico and Union just blocks from the Staples Center in downtown LA. STP is replacing the previous Earth Day mural, which has been on display since 1990. However, the original Earth Day mural has fallen on hard times. It is covered in ugly tags and the sun has drastically faded its once vibrant colors. The Earth Day mural project is being sponsored by the Pico Union Housing Corporation and the Graff Lab.
