Behind The Village Gate, follow the train tracks behind the parking lot, look off to your right, and you will be treated to some of the best graffiti in the area. The artwork is spread across several walls belonging to a row of aging buildings used primarily now as art studios. The name 'Legal Wall' stems from the landlord of this property having given permission for its walls to be used for graffiti, so long as artists don't draw beyond their limits onto other nearby businesses. The appearance of this location changes dramatically over time, with new artists spraying over older creations on a regular basis, and as such it is well worth revisiting.
It isn't uncommon to see a mom drive up with a minivan and drop off a group of teenagers with bags, boxes, and a video camera, then drive off. The area is relatively safe, though not far from some more rundown areas.
