## Resource

These buildings have been abandoned for 5 years, and then someone decided to spraypaint their name on it. Then a bunch of people followed. Now, there's a price tag … but why? It's been all over the news recently, but we've mostly heard from city officials, police, and commentators. Matthew Stromberg actually interviewed some of the artists behind the pieces.
