"Eleventh Wonder" is doing a mural...

Street artist "Eleventh Wonder" is doing a mural on a fence along 28th St. and 3rd Avenue.  He is helping the neighborhood out which has had graffiti problems on the fence by putting up a piece mural on the fence. 
Past attempts have shown that a respectable artist doing such leads to graffiti not being put on the space these murals are done.
