Bucky Fuller owns the Lower South Hill
The concrete wall just before the "Y" on Ben Garnett Way and Ninth Ave has long been a magnet for taggers. For the past few weeks however the lone profile of Buckminster Fuller
has risen above it all. The wheatpastie image was lifted from a U.S.
stamp commemorating the FAIA architect, inventor, and engineer. Father
of the geodesic dome, the stamp incorporates his patented dome with his
bald head. So why the sudden appearance on Ben Garnett Way? We have
absolutely no idea.
There is another one by the fire station in browne's addition.

These are all over the place on the South Hill and Downtown, there are some more near LC and under the Cliff Drive bridge over Bernard/Stevens St. Also another wheatpaste that looks similar was also done by the same person, and is pasted on walls around the same area.

There are two different wheatpasted images with Buckminster motifs around the south hill. Upon closer inspection, I've noticed they both say "learn" on them. I don't know if that is any sort of "tag name" or just a friendly encouragement. Ha.
I have seen some other wheat pasted tags that have gone up around the same time, they say "Analord" or "Analog" or something, i cant really remember. Not sure if they are related or not.
