Someone put all these 8×10 pieces of paper on the Cap Hill poster wall. Who are they missing? An ex? A dead parent? A pet hermit crab? This wall, once this building becomes another condo? Who are you missing?

  1. Matt Luby wants his Slog privileges back, I guess.

    (P.S. The wall will be replaced by apartments, not technically condos, if that’s any comfort at all.)

  2. I really don’t get the hatred of condos, given that they combine dense urban living combined with retail main-street culture, and should fill all of the development requirements that you guys wish for. You will miss this blighted property every day?

  3. I’m pretty sure those are 8.5×11 pieces of paper.

    I miss my family. I’m going to go see them in a couple weeks, so that’s awesome.

    I miss the person I used to be, who was a lot more optimistic and also had more money.

    I miss my cats and dogs, who died many years ago. The horse too.

    Not the goats though. Fuck them, they were dicks.

  4. Not to belabor the point – but will it really be condos/apartments on *that* wall? I recall that it’s supposed to be street-level retail, right?

  5. @3 I think he’s probably fine masturbating to Fox news. OK, I mean he’s not doing it now because he’s all thinking for himself and telling us about it because he’s totally about whatever. But in a few months …

  6. duh. as a photographer, I think in photo paper sizes.

    also, I thought I missed my hermit crabs, until my Dad died, only one year and 1 month ago…

    I miss him every day. I didn’t get to say goodbye.

    this is A++ public art.

  7. so cliche, but–my ex. we broke up almost a year ago, same day we lost our lease. everyday i miss them, our relationship, who we were together. it’s funny to be dating (multiple) other people and still be single at the same time. we’ve started hanging out again, tho, and our friendship is regrowing like the arm of a starfish, and i’m so incredibly grateful for that.

  8. It’s what we used to create. These old dilapidated buildings have become make-shift homeless dens and advertising dumps. I miss what we could have everyday.
