Sadly, two years on, broken streets and piles of rubble are a more common sight.

So when locals wrote in chalk what they would like to see more of, it was great to see - amongst the calls for "good waves" (surfers have, admittedly, been rather starved of decent swell lately) and for the Fast Food Gods to "open a Maccas" - that somebody was asking for "no graffiti, just art".  And just a little further along, another brick wall still standing (recently exposed by the demolition of yet another building), and beautifully demonstrative of the power of just a little bit of paint and a few colours.
