Found on the DM&E railroad bridge

I was walking along the bike trail here a few weeks ago, nearing this railroad bridge.



On the other side of the bridge was this graffiti (appeared to be written in chalk):








That railroad bridge is a very popular place for graffiti, as you can tell from the multicoloured panels that have been painted over multiple times. I almost didn't even bother photographing it because most of the graffiti I see there is complete nonsense written by incompetent teenagers who can't write, draw, or spell anything properly, never mind communicating a remotely coherent message. This essay-like message reads like some self-absorbed confession of a drama queen, so I almost dismissed it completely. However, after taking a closer look at the photo at home later on, I decided to type in some phrases in Google to see what came up, and it turns out it's a piece of dialogue from a film called Me and You and Everyone We Know. (As far as I can tell, the alternating colours of chalk signify different characters speaking.) It sounded reasonably interesting, so I have checked it out from the library. Haven't watched it yet though.

And as long as I'm already sharing, here's another photo of random meaningful chalked words. It was on the pavement of the bike trail near downtown.


I like finding happy graffiti. =)
