Temple Downtown
If your ever in New England, be sure to go check out the temple restaurant and lounge, in downtown Providence... its DOOOPE!
here is the story behind it....
construction began on the building, which was originally intended for RI Freemasons, in 1926. in 1928, work on the Masonic Temple stopped when funds ran low due to the great depression. Masons walked off the job, leaving the building unfinished. so the building remained unfinished for nearly 80 years. and during this period the temple was the mecca for Rhode Island graffiti artist.
the building is now a hotel and restaurant, when the builders where designing the restaurant and lounge they decided that since it had been for graffiti for so long, that they would save some of the history, so they commisioned one of the graffiti artists who had alot of work in the building to remake some graffiti
we were talking to the bar tender and she was telling us that, it took them a while to find him because its all underground and no one had any clue of who he was. and when they did hire him he didnt want the construction workers to know who he was so he broke back into the building after the workers left for the day and did the graffiti for the restaurant in one night.
she also said that the basements are still covered with graffiti.
here are some photos
these are photos they have up of some original pieces from the building

Charity
First of all let me introduce Patrick, SuhReal Marketing. He's a crazy ass party guy whos mind set is all about following what your passion, Like us folks.Dude's been studying business since he was born and has the knowledge to help Bill Gates on his business....? you get the drift.
Anyways, besides his wild side, he got his good. He set up SuhReal to a little Charity, giving food to the homeless/bums at Peoples Park in Berkely, CA. On budget but gave more than enough to the homeless at that park. Whats a City without Bums right? We only got the pictures from his first batch of give aways, so we only got a few flicks. Next Charity we'll have the whole thing and will be towards a bigger crowd. The more we receive the more ya'll get, anyways Peep it:
Also Thanks to Mei Liang for helping Patrick out with everything, and to the other people that helped them. Her and Patrick did all the planning and action with this one,so its all love to them from SuhReal.
Peaaace.
