Street Art Or Vandalism? Ron Burgundy Makes Appearance Under Belt Parkway Overpass

Underneath the Belt Parkway overpass located on Sheepshead Bay Road and Shore Parkway, you can now come face to face with the most famous anchorman in all of pop culture, Mr. Ron Burgundy.

Next to him the caption reads, “ART IS NOT A CRIME,” accompanied by an image of a mind-controlling television.

Though it bears a passing resemblance, it appears this creation wasn’t done by Banksy; after finishing his month-long residency, he’s high-tailed it out of New York.

So who’s the mysterious man to bring the famous San Diegan – er,  San Diego-ite? San Diego-in? San Diego-un? – anchor to Sheepshead Bay? A small tag next to the anchorman says AINAC, and a quick Google search suggests he’s hit a few spots in our area over the last week or two.

While we know our readers aren’t fond of graffiti done without the permission of the property owner, I’d say the Department of Transportation’s neglect of that crap-filled passageway borders on vandalism of our quality of life. It would be nice if they responded to Sheepshead Bites’ multiple inquiries over the years to commission a mural there.

Regardless, stay classy, Sheepshead Bay.
