The Notorious B.I.G. Mural – Queens Graffiti – August 2010 – Gaia Son
Christopher George Latore Wallace (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997), better known by his stage names The Notorious B.I.G., Biggie or Biggie Smalls, was an American rapper. – Wikipedia
Had he not been killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles, Biggie would have been 42. Another great shot of this mural can be seen on Not A Queens Photo Blog [http://bit.ly/Z2X0Gq].
Remembering Frans Broekveldt – 2 Oktober, 1940 – 9 Februari, 2009
Remembering my uncle Frans on his birthday. Back in 1978, I bought him the 12 inch single of Miss You by the Rolling Stones. Frans loved that song and it was on his turntable most of the time. Later that summer I danced next to Mick Jagger at Studio 54 and overheard he and Bianca having the most ridiculous argument at the bar. Never had a chance to share that story with my uncle. Miss you Oom Frans.

I appreciate the efforts to restore these ads but I wish they would just leave them alone. Many are not nearly as aesthetically pleasing than the original fade (i.e. Philips, Harlingen NL).
