Long known as a "Red Light District" for incessant drug and prostitution, the South Bronx neighborhood Hunts Point offers much more than what it's moniker suggests. When commuting along the 6 line in the Bronx, the train shifts it's underground path to an above ground oasis of murals, "fill-ins", and "tags". Whether this colorful display constitutes an act of vandalism or not, it's presence showcases a cultural narrative amongst writers, as well as their audiences.
