I am going to argue that street art rose to a substantially valuable level from cultural and historical perspective, thus, it is time to change or flex the property law in favor of preserving important murals of street artists. My focus is solely on Banksy, whose works have been predominantly illegal. B.

tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?” These catchy lyrics can only be identified as the iconic children's show, “Sesame Street”’s theme song. Over the years, the program has come a long way from its creation, first episodes, and cast and special guests. Despite these changes, Sesame Street remains a household favorite and will continue to be for years to come.

Having midnight races is one scary event to risk one's life at, even spectators not racing can be damaged by any…
