Can anyone provide a photo of the "Surrender Dorothy" graffiti on the overpass over the Beltway?

That was painted over a *long* time ago; I don't know if there are any images on line. Nowadays you can see the squares of different paint...

But to give everyone an idea:



That's the Mormon Temple in the center of the picture.

"Surrender Dorothy" on that overpass? That's just inspired.

One of my favorites from my route home. Sorry about the tree. I think this graffiti has been on this wall for a while. Tree is about six inches in front of it, growing out of crumbled parking lot.

The back wall of a Papa John's pizza joint. The background building with the white column is a Baptist church. I wonder if Hooch was there too?

That building in the back is my dorm. That saying is all over the city, and I intend to spread it. There's a story that this same thing started popping up on college campuses in the '70s. Yay for resurgences.

Yeah. That happened to me, once.
