America and Mexico, not Iran

New street art from Enik One in downtown Los Angeles featuring a woman wrapped in an American Flag. However, the colors of Iran have been put in place of the traditional red/white/blue of the flag.

***(actually, the colors are not Iran as we initially thought. It is actually the colors of Mexico that are being interwoven into the American flag, which perhaps has even more relevance, especially in LA)***

We didn't necessarily understand the Iranian idea, but the Mexico one is more clear--Immigrants are Americans too, and even if they come from Mexico, even if their home colors are red, green and white, they are still Americans, and still get wrapped up in the love for America***

Assembled in Mexico

West Hollywood fiercely patrols all 2.1 square miles of its entire area, keeping it virtually buffed clean.

So we were surprised to see what looked to be tiny stickers all up and down Santa Monica Blvd, apparently stuck up on the cross walk boxes.

However, it is not a sticker at all, but it seems to be a stamp from the production factory, painted in white that reads 'Assembled in Mexico'.

This is interesting because the stamp leaves a mark on an otherwise jet black background. If the city buff squad now gets used to the tiny marks on these boxes, will that lead to tolerating more stickers?
