Once all the people are out there will be a period of time where the buildings will be left empty. Just several gargantuan empty shells... I see the promise in painting them.<br /><br /><strong>THE IDEA</strong><br />We could paint them. <a href="http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2007/05/painted-city-blocks.html?showComment=1179745800000" target="_blank">Check out examples of other painted buildings around the world by clicking here</a>. It's only an idea. If you think it's a good idea cast your vote on the poll and leave a comment or email<strong> </strong><a href="mailto:paintthe@gmail.com"><strong>paintthe@gmail.com</strong></a><strong>.</strong> Only you can make this happen. That's the beauty of this project. </div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><strong>THE ARTISTS</strong><br />These artists have said that they would come down and help if we got the building.
