I’m pretty sure the tag isn’t the “eyesore,” it’s the river made entirely of concrete. Jesus…

L.A.’s largest tag: the giant, half-mile-long “MTA” scrawl that appeared last year along the concrete banks of the Los Angeles River near downtown.

Authorities say the Metro Transit Assassins created the city’s largest tag — a three-story-high, half-mile-long scrawl of its moniker along the concrete banks of the Los Angeles River.

…The tag has been an eyesore visible from downtown high-rises and freeways for months. But removing it is proving difficult — and costly.
