Regal Majestic Theater tagged with graffiti in Silver Spring

Graffiti artists apparently gained access to the rooftop of the Regal Majestic cineplex building at 900 Ellsworth Drive at Downtown Silver Spring. They left tags on the facade just below the top of the corner parapet of the building. Because there is an overhang below that facade, the graffiti is not highly visible from the streets directly below. Four of the facade tiles were painted black behind one of the tags.
