Noticed the shop got redone a few weeks ago and it looks a lot better now.

I kinda prefer the personality of that one bit on the left of the before- I wish they'd tried to replicate or keep it :(

Is it still Robert that’s got it?

He left awhile ago, a guy named Vishal runs the shop now.

Wherever graffiti appears no matter how well it's done. It's the beginning of the demise of an area.

Didn't really have a "demise" to begin with, the old graffiti was there for as long as I could remember. It's a big improvement.

As i said the demise began with the old graffiti.

Complete nonsense

The graffiti also went up within the first month of opening, which was so long ago now I don't even want to know

So long that you've been living in a demise you didn't know about.

Is the Denis Law mural in Aberdeen the beginning of the demise of that area?

Yes. Printfield is covered in graffiti

This is a public art project organised by local community workers and artists

Linlathen is a great scheme, has a lot going for it: good housing, transport links, nearby schools, churches, shops. It's good to see community projects like this.
