Happy April Fools!

This building, at Metropolitan and Kent, always has some pretty great (and frequently changing) graffiti, but I especially love the enormous hand that showed up several months ago. It makes me laugh everytime I pass by it. There’s something so direct and obvious about it – “Here’s the door,…
