This is the third re-painting of the intersection of 9th Ave SE and Adams St in Olympia, Washington. The original design was inspired by the cosmos that presented themselves in a 14 pointed configuration above the earth on the Fall Equinox 2003. The mandala was the inspiration of astrologer, Bradley Naragon. This intersection links the public library, the post office, a credit union, a B&B (Fertile Ground) and an activist library (Media Island) and has been dubbed "Fertile Island." The paint made as needed from cement, lime and water. The City of Olympia approved this intersection in 2003 based on the popular and celebrated work of City Repair of Portland, Oregon. City Repair has created dozens of intersection for human interaction in Portland. (quote from gaildimarzo)

The Washington Post:
"Top Secret America" is a project nearly two years in the making that describes the huge national security buildup in the United States after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
When it comes to national security, all too often no expense is spared and few questions are asked - with the result an enterprise so massive that nobody in government has a full understanding of it. It is, as Dana Priest and William M. Arkin have found, ubiquitous, often inefficient and mostly invisible to the people it is meant to protect and who fund it.
This is a fascinating project, I encourage everyone to read the series and poke around the web site. Top Secret America is most everywhere, including here in Olympia: Global Resource Solutions, Inc.
OLYMPIA - Rabbi Cheski Edelman made a disturbing discovery at The Chabad Jewish Discovery Center on Legion Way on Tuesday morning: Someone had knocked over the nearly 9-foot menorah visible from the street and spray-painted the words "Die Jew" at its base.

You've only lived next door for a few months and you have already made my life somewhat miserable. I wasn't lookin' for trouble, I'd like to subscribe to the -live and let live- philosophy, but you all are very obvious. And rude.
First there was the surveillance you set up, nothing illegal, but something I and others noticed right away. Then there was the foot traffic. The quiet or not so quiet approach to your front door, the quiet knock, the in and out of your place in seconds.
Lots of foot traffic.
Then the patterns. When something would arrive, when there looked to be work parties processing whatever it is, then when something in multiple back packs on multiple kids on multiple skate boards would exit.
I have nick names now for you all. You're dubbed Head Honcho. One of your crew members is Tunes. Two of them I call The Twins, cause they are.
