Creeping prosperity
Sectwanto's HUGE tag on a brick building down by Potrero Point, was painted out last week. The brick building was originally tagged (according to this site) in 2005. Seemed a year or two earlier than that at least, but I have photos from July 2004 that show the brick building untagged. Memory's a funny thing.
SECTWANTO always reminded me of RIGO's TRUTH over by City Hall, "but different," as they say.
Still, two years from tag date, SECTWANTO and the fribbly tagged crap beneath it were painted over.
Why now?
Well, perhaps because plans are afoot to revitalize Pier 70 and surrounds.

Bertold Brecht:
Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
