Stabber Alley in DUMBO didn't really have much edge left—what with becoming such a popular Foursquare check-in spot, and being safer than the Manhattan Bridge archway. And now it's become a hot spot for graffiti artists, which means it's only matter of time before we see Shepard Fairey's minions wheatpasting what was once DUMBO's most feared alleyway. We spotted this new piece this morning, tagged right on to the iconic 101 year old bridge, and running the length of the passage. It reads: "No tiene dinero pero tengo mi corazon." Translation: "I have no money but I have heart," which doesn't really apply to many of DUMBO's residents.
