Findings
Mural and graffiti have different correlation to main street regarding location on the streets and position of them, for example, Roosevelt Apartment on Penn which is commercial purpose mural on the wall. It has great visual connection for drivers and pedestrians to market its brand. However, graffiti are typically "hide" in the alley ways or on the back sides of buildings. Also, interestingly, Downtown Culture District has limited number of graffiti, it may resulted from regulation or rule.
Additionally, neighborhood identities may influence concentration of street arts in the neighborhoods. From the map, Strip District has much denser street arts along the investigation area - Penn Ave. Many of them were old commercial mural on the wall, which represents a historical industrial site identity. On the other hand, many new murals have been added along the main street, which shows a transition of neighborhood as well.
