Graffiti Artist Tags Iconic Butterfly Bridge with Bizarre 'Taco' Message
Video Transcript
Hey everyone, uh, Wednesday morning, June 25th, 9:30 a.m. and this is Gary. I'm downtown right by the Central Library, and I'm on the Butterfly Bridge. This is the bridge on 2nd Street that crosses Shoal Creek. And I noticed this morning That some brave hooligan has climbed the arch. Of the bridge and has tagged it with the word “taco.” You can just make it out here, and I wonder if they're trying to tell us something, that maybe the arches of this bridge are not in fact representative of a butterfly's wing, but rather they represent the curved sides of a crispy taco shell, and if that is the case, then are the folks who cross this bridge regularly The seasoned beef, shredded lettuce, cheese and salsa that make up the delicious filling of the taco? Food for thought. Stay hungry y'all.
