In an earlier post, I reported that Banksy's 'You Concrete Me' piece (in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood) was vandalized by a local 'crew'. It is quite clear that a segment of Chicagoan's were strongly opposed to the anti-Banksy graffiti. This morning, in the wee hours, a 3-good Samaritans, paint & wax pen in hand, made the needed repairs to the stone-faced Banksy.
Banksy fans across the globe can now raise a pint to the awesome persons responsible for the face-lift.
