Newspaper Article Citation and Annotation II

Citation

Buckley, Cara, and Marc Santora. "Night Falls, and 5Pointsz, a Graffiti Mecca, Is    Whited Out in Queens." New York Times 12 Feb. 2014: A23. Print.


Annotation


The article "Night Falls, and 5Pointsz, a Graffiti Mecca, Is Whited Out in Queens" remarks upon the graffiti haven's bitter undoing. Late last fall, hundreds of graffiti artists' artwork was covered by white in an effort to pave way for high-rise luxury apartments. While the owner of the former outdoor graffiti exhibit remains sympathetic of the aerosol artists' plight for space to legally showcase their work, many artists and tourists alike have taken news of the eventual destruction of the iconic landmark with heavy hearts.
