(Previous street mural posts:

When I moved to the U-District in the summer of '08, I didn't know that Tubs had been anything other than a deserted building with sweet graffiti. Apparently it used to be a sauna place (or something!). It was well-known for its sketchiness.
More than two years later, it's still deserted and covered with graffiti. While I wonder why it never turned into the
condo with ground-floor retail it was rumored to become, I have enjoyed its rotating exhibits. New graffiti artists change it up all the time. There's even a
flickr page so you can
see how it's
changed over the
years
If you walk by the corner of Roosevelt and 50th right now, you'll probably see some of this:

| I imagine Tubs now is way more interesting than Tubs when it was open |

| Some sweet tags |

| Mona Lisa peeking through? |
