Bicycle Alley!!!!! booooohoooooo.
They receive this Official FreeArtWorcester Award for painting over the beautiful graffiti work on the once Java Hut side of the building. FreeArtWorcester understands that they have taken over that side and they can do whatever they want with it but damn, give us all a break. It was THE most gorgeous example of legally thrown up graffiti in the city! It made fighting traffic to get to that part of the city worth it. C'mon! Now the only way to really redeem yo self if you care Bicycle Alley, is to get those artists back out and do a mad bike themed piece up there, then we'd understand. Otherwise the word on the street is peeps are no longer gonna bring their bike to your shop. Sad, but true.
What's up with things in the last week or so in this town? Java Hut closes, two weekends ago things fell apart at the carnival down at Frankin and Fosters Streets and Worcester's Finest shot pepper balls to disperse crowds of kids WTF?! Then State Rep. John Benienda (D-Worcester) proproses and William Breault who chairs the Main South Public Safety Alliance supports stiffer marijuana laws in Worcester...I will not even begin a rant about this because we got to keep it positive despite all the disappointments. There are 8 new FreeArtWorcester pieces out there this week, grab one now and get the smile back on yo face!

WE ARE BICYCLE ALLEY AND THE LANDLORD PAINTED HIS BUILDING!!!
NOT US!!!!!!!!!!!!!SORRY.
Maybe you could let the landlord know that word is spreading fast that people feel let down by the work being painted over?
We'll definitely let peeps know about your comment here...
PEACE
So quick to malign a solid, locally owned business based on a bogus assumption. Free art indeed.
Fair enough.
The same week that the java hut sign comes down the wall gets painted over. Most casual observers would be under the impression that the wall was painted by or at the direction of Bicycle Alley.
A casual observer would figure that the landlord didn't have a problem with the art when Java Hut was the tenant, but as soon as Bicycle Alley takes over the landlord wants to do some spring cleaning and paint the wall?
I hope BA can accept my skepticism.
Java Hut sucked. The mural was shitty. Move on with your life.
the graffiti was indeed legal...i miss running the java hut and i'm sorry i ever left it...I drove by the day it was being painted over and damn near shed a tear...jinx is a talented artist and did all that work for free oreo milkshakes...
Love it that Jinx did that piece for free Oreo shakes, Wicked!
Wish more talented local artists could do more with local business to give this town a face lift and make people smile more.
Peace.
