  1. This thread is amazing. I was reading through the first few pages and was amazed at how thought out and interesting the posts were, then I noticed they were eight years old and was just getting ready to get my "end times" grump on and curse and my generation for not putting any care or time into things, like they used to, when I checked the last page and found, with some exceptions, things to be continuing pretty well - and Kabar still on here schoolin up the the youngins in railroad lore.

    A+++++++

    Thanks,

  2. "Capawata," the reason you're getting shit on here is because to swoop into a culture you don't understand and say that you're going to write a paper on it, by the end of the semester, is sort of insulting. Graffiti culture is complicated, and it gets exploited by business (advertising) and by "Academia" constantly. If you want to really do something different, you have to be interested in the culture beyond just giving yourself some kind of "edge." If you want to say anything worthwhile, you're gonna have to spend a lot longer than a few days taking pictures and talking to bums you find on this website.

     

    I recommend sticking to history - New York subways - because every city is different, Richmond included, and you don't have the time, or the respect I'm guessing, to find out why.

     

    Good luck.
