LOGAN SQUARE — Yo, Logan Square, we're really happy for you.

You get to walk under the California Blue Line across from the Congress Theater and spot an ode to Kanye West's now-classic interruption of Taylor Swift during MTV's 2009 Video Music Awards — further evidence that your graffiti/street art scene is the best in Chicago.

The spraypainted Greve piece is on the northen wall of Milwaukee and California Produce, one of several buildings along the Milwaukee Corridor that host a "permission wall" for local graffiti artists, like the Mega Wall, hosted on a CTA-owned wall beside the Mega Mall (soon-to-be Logan's Crossing) at 2500 N Milwaukee Ave.
