So awesome to see this. My 3 year old niece Ayla has an inoperable brain tumor that she has been battling since she was 11 months old!! Hopefully this helps bring awareness to the cause and even if it only Helps one child, that’s one less that has to suffer through the pain. #teamayla Brave Little Warrior!!

I love this bridge and how it constantly changes but I do wish that when the message is as important and Cancer, AIDS, Diabetes, etc that the message would stay untouched for a few days so more people get the chance to read the message to. From one Coop to another Coop; Keep on Keeping on!!

>Isn’t that bridge property of the railroad? And why does people get joy out of painting a bridge? Sounds stupid to me!

You must be new to the Pensacola area or don’t live here.

It is an acceptable practice to paint the 17th Avenue Trestle, better known as Graffiti Bridge. Every day, there’s a new coat of paint and a new message. It’s been happening for years, and it’s considered a local landmark.

It’s led to art exhibits and even a book project. From expressing love to passing on an important message like cancer awareness, it’s Pensacola’s public canvas.

For more, just google Pensacola Graffiti Bridge.

These photos, by the way, that you see credited to Ashton Hayward — he’s the mayor of Pensacola and posted these pics to his official city Twitter page to spread the word.
