JUDONO? Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 So I heard a rumor about the belmont tunnel being turned into some housing projects, anyone know more info about this shit. That would be pretty fucked up cause that place has alot of history but I guess and things come to an end. If this shit is gonna happen they should have some big ass session like when they had "A day in the west" a couple of years ago. Anywho anyone know more about this?

Guest me IS cool Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Yeah it's true. The Belmont yard is gonna be torn down to make way for some new low cost houseing units or some crap like that. As for the Day in the west deal, it's been happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't legal, but cops would usually overlook it. I heard of people getting busted there though. But after they tore it down and left a couple walls remaining, it's legal now. But it's not as tight as it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoHuxtable Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Originally posted by Graffer What is Belmont tunnel?? Is it like a hall of fame or what? Belmont tunnel is a graffiti yard in downtown Los Angeles. It's probably the oldest and most respected yard in LA. It's been hit since the early 1980's. Every known and uknown LA writer have hit up there. Cats from New York like Seen, Duster, and Blade have wrote there back in the 80's. If you saw the movie Biker Boyz, the scene where they filmed where the son is challenging his father in that graffiti yard -- well that's Belmont. Belmont Tunnel was originally a yard for the old "red cars" that ran on rail throughought downtown L.A. back in the 40's and 50's (seen in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"). Basically a lay up. After they discontinued using red cars it simply became an abaondoned lot and by the 80's when NY graff came to LA, cats started hitting up there. So yeah Belmont does have a rich history and it will be sad to see it gone. They're supposed to build apartment buildings there I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
