CACashRefund Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 San Francisco, California. “Psycho City" or "Cycle City" was probably the largest free wall in the northern hemisphere…Graffiti vandals came from all over the world just to tag and to take pictures of themselves with their tag in Psycho City. All of the streets leading into and out of Psycho City were covered with tags from vandals drawn to the West Coast’s Mecca of graffiti. It started with one wall on Plumbers’ Union Hall and spread to an area that covered over two square blocks from top to bottom…this was on Market Street…only 5 blocks from City Hall. The neighborhood had given up on it and, although vandals were arrested, the cases would be dropped by the District Attorney, because it wasn’t clear that you couldn’t tag there. It seemed hopeless that the mixed residential/commercial area could ever be restored. The whole area for blocks around suffered from the constant tagging. This was proof enough that legal walls won’t work. On August 27, 1995 our graffiti team restored the walls by removing all the graffiti in Psycho City. Operating a stealth mission and over one weekend, using hundreds of gallons of paint, armies of workers, high rangers and PERMISSION to remove the graffiti…On Monday, all the graffiti was gone. Each morning, before dawns early light, we would check for retagging. The first week we returned every day, but it only took a few minutes to remove any tags, and they never got to take a picture of the tags. Soon, the retagging tapered off to once a week, and now, it goes for months without any tags. The graffiti vandals put the word out on the Internet that Psycho City was dead, and that was the end of a west coast graffiti icon…What does this prove? Free walls do NOT work, and, with persistence, any area, no matter how bad, can be turned around. We know. We did it! Found here along with some other bullshit.
