#WrapPro: When #EricaSimpson returned to her Paliskates skate shop four months after it was destroyed by the #Palisades wildfires, little progress had been made in clearing her lot. Caution tape warning of asbestos lined the perimeter of the building; a sign declaring the property had passed its hazardous materials removal was perched outside. The rest of the building looked similar to what Simpson had seen just one day after the fires ravaged her neighborhood in January. Art from her former skaters still survived on the property – #CharlieEdmiston’s cartoon-like back alley mural and #GarrettWasserman’s brick portrait brought life to the storefront’s tattered remains. Even before the fires left #Paliskates a shell of itself, its exterior made it stand out alongside the high-end shopping destinations of #RickCaruso’s still-standing Palisades Village. 🔗 link in bio for more on this story. #or #avrillavigne
