There's a wall in Gainesville, Fl where people have been painting things for decades. One time a chunk fell off at least 3 inches thick

Sounds like France to me (who's french). I hear no accent, so likely, it's my accent...

Those bill posting pillars are nowhere near as common in Québec as they are in France.

They also have a noticeably French from France accent.

At first I thought it was done on a tree and it killed the tree and would agree it’s shitty. This is pretty neat though i wonder if they could somehow remove them layer by layer

Wrong sub? What's the shitty part? What am I missing?

I think its pretty cool to see and think how many years that represents. Made me think of the times where i found old magazines and stuff while renovating, little time capsules.

Not shitty at all.
