Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

If you walk around Providence, Rhode Island today, you run a chance of encountering the handiwork of the Urban Curators. Catch sight of a gilded picture frame affixed to a boarded-up building? That's them. Come upon another gold frame showing off a distressed brick wall coated in graffiti? The Curators have been there. In fact, you may stumble across any number of frames showing off parts of the city that are in the process of crumbling, fading, rusting, and falling apart. Dedicated to highlighting "the interesting and unexpected areas in urban environments," this team of men and women has fanned out across their town to document surfaces and shapes that might otherwise have been ignored or, worse, despised. To them, much of what gets categorized as blight is nothing less than beauty. And they will honor their outdoor gallery accordingly.
