Final thoughts: stop thinking and start writing and let the story come to me. Based on who these people are they will do what they know how to do and have always done even though it may not be in their best interest.
Google Translate: A Universal World Language?

Graffiti Re/Examined
The first thing we did after we signed the lease on that small stretch of street was to paint the outside of “our” building, or rather the outside frontage of the unit that we leased.
