When communist buildings wear their party clothes

What happens when an artist becomes mayor of a city made of modest communist buildings? That city gets a colourful makeover, with stripes, patches and rainbows over its buildings. From what I heard, this new look was not welcomed by many of the inhabitants of the capital city. My reaction was just the opposite. I love to look at all these painted buildings, and I admire the boldness and creativity of the people behind this. Without it, Tirana would look just like any other post communist city, but this way it really has something beautiful and attractive to show.
