Just off the 7 train in Long Island City, Queens, you'll find 5 Pointz, which is the center of the New York City street art scene. After gaining permission from the building owner in 2001, artists from around the world show off their incredible work.Some graffiti is created in less than 10 seconds, some pieces take weeks to finish. It spread out to almost every corner of the world.

5 Pointz, the Graffiti landmark of Queens, attracted lots of foreign travelers to come and promote the development of local economy. Although the graffiti has been rumored to be getting demolished and replaced with high-rise apartments, those are only rumors.

Unfortunately, 19th November 2013! Graffiti 5 Pointz has been erased overnight. 
New York Graffiti Mecca 5 Pointz is now just a blank white wall.
Should we sacrifice cultural for the sake of modern social and economic development?
The answer is definitely “no”.
In the age of high-speed development in economic and culture, the contradiction between economic development and cultural heritage conservation is a worldwide problem.
