"U Bett It Hurts" Tattoo parlor, formerly Casper's Piggly Wiggly.

 

This building appears to be empty, and it also appears to have been divided into sections.  The portion to the left of the photo was clearly once part of the overall business front.

That business was Casper's Piggly Wiggly.  It appears to have been stores second location, an earlier one was downtown on 2nd Street.

At some point it became a tattoo parlor.  I can recall it being that, but I can't recall when.  The art advertising the tattoo parlor is horrible, so I doubt it attracted many customers in and of itself.

Backdoor art.

 

The news is full today of the vandalization of the White House by Donald Trump.

Horrific.

This site is about architecture and preserving architectural features.  Trump appears to be only about Trump.

One can only hope that once this episode is over and the White House has a new occupant, the destruction is reversed as a priority, and the hideous ballroom ripped down.
