Mural along Central Street in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada depicting two people sitting on a park bench.

Date: Early November 2009.

Location: The back wall of an industrial/commercial building along Central Street, Vancouver British Columbia, Canada (between Station Street and Western Street). Google Maps has a nice Street View showing the location and the panels. Central Street is just a 5 minutes walk south from the Main Street Skytrain Station. Walk another 5 minutes east and south and you get to OrganicLives where you can get some nice organic raw vegan food.

Misc. Notes: This is the thirteenth part of a series of approximately 25 photographs of the mural and graffiti art panels along Central Street in Vancouver I plan on posting here on Graffiti Near Me. This mural depicts two people sitting on a park bench, with the mountain skyline in the background and skytrain and building to the sides. The mural is marked with “CLOUDCITY07″ at the top. If anyone has information about this particular panel, please share in the comments section of this post. As always, I’d be totally cool if the artist could make some comments about this work.

Technical Notes: The photograph was taken with an Olympus Stylus 300 digital camera (a point-and-click). (Check out cameras and photography equipment on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca.)

Vancouver Open Data Catalogue: Graffiti Site Data

Just a quick note that in the second beta version of the Vancouver (BC) Open Data Catalogue, the city has released data on the location of “graffiti sites” — described as locations with “graffiti as identified by City staff”, along with information on the “number of graffiti incidents [at these sites].”1

I may try to do something with this data at the next Vancouver Open Data Hackathon I attend. If I do, I will post what I come up with either here on Graffiti Near Me or at marcusebarnes.com.

The data is currently available as DWG, SHP, and KML formats. I’m excited about the last format because it means I can more easily use the data with the Google Maps API (both JavaScript and Flash) and with Google Earth. For more information on the data set and how you can get your hands on it, please visit the Vancouver Open Data Catalogue Graffiti Site Data page.

QUESTION: Do you know of any other cities with open data about their “graffiti incidents”? If so, please share links to pages with more information in the comments section of this post.

Misc. Notes: This is the eleventh part of a series of approximately 25 photographs of the mural and graffiti art panels along Central Street in Vancouver I plan on posting here on Graffiti Near Me. This graffiti mural features some nice black and red stylized bubble letters (which I’m unable to properly decipher at this time) on top of a faded city background. You can see that the panel is tagged on the lower portion with the date 2007. If anyone has information about this particular panel, please share in the comments section of this post. As always, I’d be totally cool if the artist could make some comments about this work.
