It\u2019s been quite a ride so far, but it still feels like we haven\u2019t even started yet. In 2015, it was mainly a one man show. I lived in the back of the shop with my four dogs. No heat, air, hot water, kitchen, shower, or any of the creature comforts we\u2019re used to. I cooked on a hot plate and showered at the YMCA. I was all in on the vision, but it wasn\u2019t a clear vision at all. I just wanted to do something positive for the graff culture by opening a place for writers to gather, blackbook, attend art shows, etc. Over time, it developed into what you see now. Lots of ups and downs and a huge amount of great memories. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this. Team members, customers, supporters, collaborators, everyone. We have a long way to go. \u2014 Bus P.S. Rest in peace Kub, Herbie, Hooper, and Shortie. I think about you all the time.
