Photos: Lowertown artists poster-tag abandoned JAX building

Following an involuntary exodus from the JAX building, after it was purchased for market rate rentals as part of the ongoing gentrification of Lowertown, artists from the community poster-tagged the building in the dead of night. Tom Dunn sent these photos to lowertown.info. Use arrows to browse images or click any image to begin the slideshow.
