6th & Ave C [SW Corner] (October 20, 2012)

This blue building on 6th Street and Avenue C in Alphabet City recently served as the canvas for a politically-charged Barack Obama mural (see below, from DNAinfo), created by the one-and-only Antonio "Chico" Garcia. The building's tenant, RCN Cable, painted over the mural in November 2010, stating the company "would never support a political message of any kind." And notice the PIXOTE street art / graffiti / vandalism.       CLICK TO ENLARGE
