The End Is Near for New York City's World-Famous 'Graffiti Mecca'
A recent court ruling paved the way for demolition of the popular destination.
New York City is about to lose 5Pointz, quite possibly the largest collection of street art in the world.
For the past 20 years, a Queens factory owner has allowed artists to cover his building's facade with colorful names, superheroes, monsters, zombies, and much more. This "graffiti mecca" is a top destination for visitors from around the world. Some come to paint, others to admire the work or use it as backdrop for film and fashion shoots.
