Pop's is at 5249 Pattison Ave, St Louis, Missouri. See you there!

I wanted to write and let you know about the Pulitzers upcoming outdoor exhibition in Grand Center - The Light Project. The exhibition includes four different outdoor light-based installations through collaborations with the Contemporary, Saint Louis Art Museum, and White Flag Projects.

and on the fourth side, in restroom graffiti style:

"CHAIN YOUR MAYOR TO A PIPE IN YOUR BASEMENT"

"BEAT HIM TIL HE SINGS"

"IT'S YOUR FAULT TOO"

As this is an uncommisioned gift to the city of St. Louis, I doubt it will be there for very long. If you wish to view it, please feel free to pass by. I would guess that someone will damage and/or remove it within the next day or two.
