An Inside Look: Powell Square

I know you've all seen the old Powell Square building. Its easily viewable from any of the highways downtown. What most people don't typically see, is all of the amazing artwork inside. Well luckily for you, WATC took a look inside - we'll give you a photo/video tour. Not only is there art inside, there's about 6 people living there as well. All sorts of shit has went down in this building, its pretty grimey which you will see in the photos. This is when life gets really real.. Oh and in case you didn't know.... we out here.. literally.

Just wanted to point out these holes. Starts at the Sixth floor goes all the way down to the basement. Crazy shit. Peep the fool who threw his piece up right in the middle.
