I miss the old voting booths that I had always used. They gave you privacy and then you lowered that huge lever and you felt your vote was counted for sure. I now have to accept that software which is hackable, will be counted fairly. Nothing’s perfect. Fortunately this new system functioned as intended yesterday!

“Crack Kills” Lower East Side 1987

I think Chico was looked upon by other writers as being less important than they were, because he didn’t do trains…I could be wrong, but I don’t recall seeing any Chico pieces on New York’s subways. He did do quite a lot of murals in the city and I have no clue if he’s still active…
