What You See in Sunset Park: Skull and Stripes


Skull and Stripes, originally uploaded by bestviewinbrooklyn.

Taken off 5th Avenue in the 40's. It's relatively new, but I'm not sure if it's random or commissioned. Maybe this guy would know.

I think this one has been in Sunset for a while. Perhaps it was re-painted.

it has been on our street for as long as we have lived here. (3-4 years). Can only presume the Flag o death symbolism.

I thought it looked familiar, but I guess I've always just skimmed over it. Was it repainted, as a previous person suggested?
