Joan Cusack

   Lately there's been some popular graffiti around town. It's not very good, but it's good at getting attention. First there was the ubiquitous "Mohinder" graffiti, which people seemed to like because it was so amateur-ish. Then along came the "John Cusack" graffiti, probably done ironically by some young sap, not by some older nostalgic graffiti artist. I saw a bunch of the John Cusacks, including a sticker someone had made, and then I came upon one that had been altered afterwards by someone who clearly wanted his sister Joan Cusack to get some attention. Well, why not. She's done some great work, too.

The payphones are a dying race

Usually when payphones are neglected by the phone company and consumers alike, they just look ragged and beaten. This one looked like it died in the desert and all that's left is its bones.
