Iconic Graffiti Destination 5 Pointz Is No More

After battling with the city of New York over its possible demolition, iconic graffiti destination 5 Pointz is reportedly no more.
This sad news comes after hundreds of artists and supporters rallied on Nov. 16 to hault the demolition. Over the summer, the New York City Planning Commission granted developer David Wolkoff permission to build retail space and two residential towers at the building's Long Island City location. In return, a lawsuit was filed against the developers, citing a violation of the 1990 Visual Rights Act.
On Oct. 22, Judge Frederic Block granted 5 Pointz a restraining order, meaning no demolition or new murals could be done at the site for 10 days. Though Judge Block said it would "tear his heart out," to see the artwork go, he acknowledged that there was no legal way for him to provide an injunction to save it.
Judge Block added that he would leave the decision to landmark 5 Pointz up to "the incoming administration of mayor-elect Bill de Blasio." The New York Daily News pointed out that a similar effort was made with the Bloomberg administration, but the idea was ultimately rejected due to rules requiring a landmark to be at least 30-years-old. 5 Pointz was established in 1993.
According to the 5 Pointz Twitter account, the building was abruptly painted white overnight without any permit.

The 40 Best Streetwear Brands of the 2000s

By Matt Welty | Oct 9, 2013 | 11:13 am | Permalink

The 2000s were chock-full of clothing brands that fused elements of skateboard and hip-hop style, a combination that dragged us into a decade-long rabbit hole of glorious streetwear. Tons of brands hit their stride during the aughts, and dope graphics, limited sneaker collabs, and bold patterns ruled men's style from coast to coast.
Streetwear's foundation was built up in the '90s, and from that solid platform the genre excelled throughout the 2000s. It may be a cliche at this point, but the spread of the Internet allowed ideas to spread quickly and build off of one another, and the barriers of entry to starting one's own brand were lower than ever. This created a busy arena with multiple participants that brought a torrent of creative output, and streetwear became its own culture. Within these 10 years we're focusing on, a lot of bands came and went, but a few cut through the noise to excel for a significant amount of time.
Whether they made a product that changed the game, or consistently put out solid collections that had people lining up to try and cop, the top labels found ways to remain atop the rest in a competitive world where the next hottest brand could come from someone screenprinting dope T-shirts in their cramped apartment. The rapid innovation and flood of creative thought that defined the culture during the first decade of the 21st century was undeniable, but only a few triumphant labels could be called The 40 Best Streetwear Brands of the 2000s.
