I saw a couple walls painted up right by the Taichung HSR station from the bus the other day and figured on getting back to see if there was anything else nearby. Just across the stream to the south beneath the overpass there is perhaps a .5km long wall that is 98% covered with great stuff from Four Crew and Virus No 6. Most of the stuff along the wall is dated 2007, but there's a ramp tagged 2008 on the south end. It's good to finally find where everyone has been active for the past year.
Fast and Same got busy all over a wall in the canal next to Chung Ming S Rd next to the Early Bird.
Out with the kids on Sunday afternoon when I spotted this truck in a parking lot between DongXing Rd and DaTun Rd near the Costco. There's some more graf around town that I've seen, but this has been the first time that I've had my camera with me in months.
The same fine folks that bring you Oldies Franks, have a noodle shop within spitting distance called Noodle Noodle. And between the two is this parking lot. Saven/Same hooked up with the guys from The Seventh Letter when they were in Taipei a while back and is now spreading their name and notoriety too.
Near that B&Q on Beitun Rd there's an abandoned newspaper factory. Apparently, there's a lot of graff inside as well. I hope to get back if it ever stops raining.
Saw Fast at breakfast one morning and he drew me a map to this great old public housing project which was built to house military families. The whole place is tucked into an area the size of a football field and consists of 12-15 buildings, I think. They were abandoned a little over a year ago and left quite a mess behind. Thank god for the graffiti guys to come in and spruce the place up a bit.
These are all from a neighborhood near Beitun, almost as far as Chungde, I think. I'll try to map out the site. Might not be much use, as I was crawling over the fence which surrounds this place, a neighborhood busybody informed me that they were going to be tearing the buildings down within a few weeks.
