The mural makes its point loud and clear; the rusted cross attached to the chain-link fence is more subdued.
The photo was taken at least two years ago, so it’s possible the memorial’s been painted over and this empty lot now hosts a new co-op or some other building.
It’s one of dozens of homegrown memorials that sprang up after September 11, some of which have been collected here in Brooklyn Street Art blog.

I saw this from the F Train yesterday on my way to Coney Island – still intact, at least for now.

The mural is still there in Gowanus, near Smith and 9th Sts. I saw it yesterday, 9/10/11.

I’m glad to hear it. I was afraid it was painted over and covered up by these Gowanus hotels I keep hearing about….
