Restaurateurs from Rapid City South Dakota have purchased
two 1960's Bristol red-double decker buses which were originally imported to
the states from England back in the 80's and 90's. Owner's of the Firehouse Brewing Company and
Wobbly Bobby British Pub in Rapid City recently purchased the buses from Double
Decker Bus Co. in San Diego, CA. and have taken on the grand venture of
transporting the buses across the country where they will be used to transport
tourists in the downtown Rapid City area.
Rapid City is the gateway city to such
landmarks as Mount Rushmore and Crazy
Horse Mountain.
But before these 13'8" buses take off on their journey,
maxing out at top speeds of 45 miles per hour, they will be getting a face
lift. Artists from Writerz Blok are
currently in the process of painting these buses with graffiti art.
Writerz Blok originally began as a unique approach to
prevent vandalism in southeastern SanDiego, and is now one of the country's
most innovative youth art programs providing education, opportunity and
leadership through programs in muralism, screen printing, and urban art..
This artistic process may be viewed, photographed, etc. at
JC Towing in Chula Vista, California, 2501 Faivre Street
The graffiti art is expected to be completed by day's
end.
