This building is a vacant storefront on the corner of Fairfield Avenue and Dewald Street in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The graffiti on the boarded-up window says; "Fort Wayne Sucks Dick!" The board on the sidewalk says; "Fuck Her Right In The Pussy."
The commentary on Fort Wayne is obviously an expression of the graffitist's feelings for our city, though I don't get the point of the graffiti on the other board.
"Fuck Her Right In The Pussy" is an internet meme created by some men in Kentucky who created fake news broadcasts for YouTube, made to look like they came from a TV station in Cincinnati, which feature a creepy-looking guy in a hoodie grabbing the "reporter's" microphone and screaming that phrase into it.
The very vulgar expression has catapulted the guy in the hoodie to fame on the internet. There's a Wikipedia article on it, and a Facebook page as well!
While I was photographing it, two young women who had graduated from high school this year stopped to do their own photos. They were shooting film! While I was talking to them, a man close to my parents age also stopped to photograph this place.

Update: This building was demolished in the summer of 2017.
All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.
