Soon to be gone

I believe this bit of vandalism was on the side of the Embassy Hotel which recently was destroyed by fire. One more reason not to put your craftsmanship on the side of buildings - brick and mortar may not last as long as canvas. Many will miss the hotel, far fewer the graffiti.

Fire Guts Embassy Hotel

The Embassy Hotel, closed for two months and awaiting demolition to make way for a 150-unit condominium development, was gutted by fire Tuesday, May 12. Built in the early 1900s, the Old East landmark had been an East London music spot and popular watering hole for 50 years.
