It’s back! Someone repainted the ‘Be Someone’ bridge

July 21 has been named National Be Someone Day where everyone is encouraged to take 10 seconds to make a difference.

HOUSTON – It’s back!....for now.

Someone heroically repainted Houston’s beloved ‘Be Someone’ back on the train bridge over 1-45 near downtown.

KHOU 11’s Matt Doughterty drove past the bridge Saturday morning. He said the letters are not teal anymore but bold and white.

On Tuesday, several people, including a few of our reporters noticed the letters were completely wiped out with black paint.  

The artist behind the original artwork said a lot of people have told him how motivational the message is. 

"Like, they just drive by it every day. A nine to five job. There are people who have told me they have quit their job and followed their dreams and they’re doing great." said the artist.

LISTEN: Melissa's "Conversations with Correa" podcast speaks to the artist 

We are not sure if the original artist is behind this new remodel.
