5 points has a bunch of cool murals on it now.

I get that painting over the tunnel sucks, but it might have been for a practical purpose. Those walls might have been molding

I haven't been back by 5 Pointz since I graduated, but I'll have to go back to check out the murals - do you know if you can see them from the train or do I need to get off at the stop and walk over?

You can see them from the train! They're right at eye level. I live right across the street and see them from my balcony. They're pretty cool. They also commissioned graffiti artists to paint all of the fire staircases in the building.

The 5 Pointz factory was torn down in 2014 and replaced with 2 high-rise towers of luxury rentals (complete 2021 I think). The developers named it “5PointzLIC” for name recognition/marketing. They planned to have graffiti in the reception and designated area/s on the facade. Regardless, it’s nothing like the graffiti covered factory.
