A piece of
graffiti in
Memphis located on
Poplar Ave. east of
Danny Thomas Blvd., next to the
Memphis Men's Union Mission. The graffiti iself was drawn on the side of an
abandoned liquor store. It was first noticed in
March of
1998 when a number of
people wrote in a
category for
Best Graffito in
The Memphis Flyer's Annual
Best of Memphis.
You know, we used to have a best graffiti category, but no one ever got the hang of it. People voted for places but didn’t tell us the graffiti they had in mind. They voted for graffiti but didn’t tell us where it was. A real mess. Sadly, it created a situation in which “Superman Dam Fool” couldn’t possibly win – which, we admit, was the whole point of the category. Satisfaction at last.
Since then, it's been
archived for the ages at
Memphis Mojo. The page, with accompanying
