Hey all,

I'm a longtime Beasties fan, live in Austin TX. Of course very saddened by the passing of MCA.

I'll be in NYC this weekend and am hoping to visit a handful of the best spots memorializing the man.

Top of my list right now is the amazing mural in Brooklyn that went up a few days after his passing.. as I've read about it, it seems very difficult to get a clear close-up of, and can only be well viewed from the El-line passing by over a block away?

Can any New-York / Brooklyn fans pls help with info about the best places to view and take photos of the mural?

Also would love to know about other memorials that are up in the city that I could visit this weekend.

If there's another thread already with this info, i couldn't find it, please direct me there.

with much Gratitude,

J
