Abandoned lots are rare in New York where every square foot of space is worth big bucks.  The exposed walls are prime space for street art. The art that goes up is often the most fleeting – as soon as contractors settle on building agreements the paint will disappear into the concrete jungle.

So catch these murals on 14th Street between 6th and 7th while you can! By the famous street artist twins OSGEMEOS whose signature style may have inspired the Nickelodeon show Hey Arnold! That’s complete conjecture on my part…but maybe you see it too?

I love that the chimneys of the building got incorporated in the fly outfits!

The art is dedicated to hip hop culture – current and old school.

Old school tape deck!! The ultimate “Kids these days don’t even know!”

Seriously, this lot could go from empty to construction overnight. Or it could sit as an empty lot for years… You never know in NYC. Catch this why you still can!
