"Vandals Tag 27 Floors of Abandoned LA Skyscraper Ahead of Grammys"
Taggers have decorated an abandoned $1 billion LA skyscraper complex with graffiti just days before the Grammys, marking at least 25 floors with street artists' designs. The unoccupied Oceanwide Plaza, which has been empty for over five years, has become a canvas for taggers, with some leaving personal tags while others spelled out phrases. Despite the police detaining some taggers, an invitation had been shared for people to put their mark on the buildings, and witnesses have reported seeing individuals from out of state coming to paint there. Law enforcement is working with property managers to secure the area and remove the graffiti, while construction on the complex has been stalled since 2019.
