There's a Newly Boarded-Up Store on My Block

And the plywood's covered with ads.

(Despite the fact that I use stencils and spray paint, I detest graffiti and postering, unless it's over ads, billboards and the like.)

I think I may need to look up a wheatpaste recipe.

Yeah, I'm not wild about corporate postering either...

But there is something good about board-up companies: Because they have to cut everything to fit the broken windows, they end up with a lot of scrap plywood, some of it pretty good-sized. I've called in the past to ask what happens to it all and been invited to come down and pillage their dumpster! Plywood is so pricey these days that this can be a really great deal. Try it out! There's nothing like free art supplies to make a day bright.

Huh! That's not too shabby a suggestion at all, sir.
