Let’s Make Beirut Beautiful

We’re loving this AltCity sticker that was passed out at last month’s TEDxBeirut.

It reads “We make this city…” followed by a blank space to fill out whatever you think we give to Beirut. If it was me, I’d probably write “a delicious place” or “really, really polluted.”

But this guy, @vkurumilian, thinks outside the box.

One of three founders at Beirut Colors, an organization dedicated to livening up Beirut, Vladimir tweeted a photo of his sticker, which he signed, “We make this city a beautiful place.” With “we” in bright yellow, this makes our patriotic sides squirm with suppressed “hurrahs.”

I think we can all agree that Beirut is in need of some color. Why don’t we all take a leaf out of Vladimir’s book, and liven it up together?
