In late 2012, I stopped looking at the amazing moving mural behind the grates in the Dekalb Tunnel because it had been horribly vandalized/tagged.  It was the last cool thing you’d see before the Q train crossed over the Manhattan Bridge into Disneyland and your day filled with buzzwords, acronyms, dumb branded websites, advertising, and even worse bullshit that all of that.  This live animation by artist Bill Brand never got old but after it happened I mostly opted to stand on the south side of the train, with the view the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty.  Nothing to sneeze at either.  I’m not sure when the mural was fixed because it was too depressing to look at after the damage was done.  Apparently it was restored in 2008 too, probably for the same reasons.

Who knew? It’s back!  Take the Q or the B train from Brooklyn into Manhattan and check it out.  Look to the right side of the train after it leaves the Dekalb station.
