- Darryl McCray (born 1953), better known by his tagging name Cornbread, is an American graffiti writer from Philadelphia. He is widely considered the world’s first modern graffiti artist. McCray was raised in Brewerytown, a neighborhood of North Philadelphia. During the late 1960s, he and a group of friends started doing graffiti in Philadelphia, by writing their monikers on walls across the city. Independently to Philadelphia, the graffiti movement was evolving in New York City and blossomed into the modern graffiti movement, which reached its peak in the U.S. in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and then spread to Europe. McCray later worked with the Philadelphia’s Anti-Graffiti Network and Mural Arts Program to help combat the spread of graffiti in the city. He is currently a public speaker and a youth advocate.
- Steamboat Rock (wa100.dnr.wa.gov)
Steamboat Rock is an impressive, 800-foot tall butte that marks the remnants of an ancient waterfall formed by the ice age floods. Presumably, its name comes from the rounded, elongated shape of the butte, which is strikingly similar to the silhouette of a steamboat.
