Pictures of fresh paintings on Beta Bridge in Charlottesville, Va…almost daily
DU Mischief
April 17, 2012
The Delta Upsilon fraternity (former inhabitant of what is now Beta) has been mischievous overnight, adulterating paintings and claiming right over “Duck Bridge” (I assume DUck for DU): The cruise ship on the right doesn’t have anything to do with DU, they just painted over a Semester at Sea ad, which you can still sort of see… [Read more…]

Hoos Earth?

Whose (Hoos) Earth is it anyway? Good question. Think about that during Earth Week: In other important news affecting all life on the planet, Gamma girls love their 4th years:

Both sides of Beta Bridge are painted today to commemorate the death of Yeardly Love, which was almost 2 years ago. An ad for the foundation: and an ad for a 5K run in her honor:

Shindigs & More Visions
April 10, 2012
The west side was repainted overnight for a Shindig: I was glad they didn’t paint over the Early Visions paint on the right side, because I wanted to get a close-up of it: I thought the splatter detail was pretty cool: Later in the day, the west side was turned back into a white canvas:… [Read more…]

Relay, Visions, & Paws
April 9, 2012
This time of year when the weather is nice and student activities are in full swing, the bridge gets pretty active. That means multiple paintings per day (and night), some of which I miss. In the morning the west side had an ad for a Relay for Life race: Later on in the day, it… [Read more…]

Remembering Tommy
April 2, 2012
Today both sides of the bridge are painted in memory of Tommy Gilliam, a UVA student who died when he fell off the roof of the physics building last year (original painting here). The paintings were noted by local news coverage: On the east side: He must have really been known for being barefoot, because… [Read more…]

Not Thursday
March 30, 2012
The only real addition today is a small change to yesterday’s painting — it looks like the lemonade hawkers probably just put a line through their text as they packed up, knowing the next day would not be a Thursday:

It’s a great day
March 29, 2012
…to be a Thursday! I would agree it’s been a pretty good Thursday, but it’s not clear to me what that has to do with selling lemonade, which is what’s happening at that stand on the north side: They were yelling at people they knew and probably at people they didn’t know, asking if they… [Read more…]

Boys to Men
March 27, 2012
No, not Boyz II Men. Men’s Leadership Project is a mentoring program focused on developing “leadership skills and healthy conceptions of masculinity.” Sounds like a good idea. On the west side, another round of Invisible Children, which is about child soldiers: Also, a reload of House of Blues.

Restoration Buffalo
March 19, 2012
“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.” I’ve always loved that that is a real sentence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo. Not sure what buffalo have to do with the Restoration Ball, but there they are: Some Googling leads me to believe this is an event put on by the Jefferson Society. While I would usually take this opportunity… [Read more…]

Green
March 17, 2012
Last night I walked by the bridge as it was being covered in paint like I haven’t seen before. I mean that in two ways. First, the painters seemed to have forgotten brushes and were painting with their bodies. Around a dozen people had heavily paint-laden skin and clothes. I didn’t have my camera with… [Read more…]

Delta Team
March 16, 2012
Can’t crack exactly what is going on here. Something Greek? Seems like it could be from DU (“Delta”), the previous inhabitants of Beta’s house. Maybe they are upset no one started calling it Delta Bridge? Sorry boys, consonance is catchy. Strange that some of the writing is provocative, but they also wrote “THX Beta”… Later in… [Read more…]
