This project is not in North America, but was in the New York Times this weekend and I thought it expounds wonderfully on the theme from the previous posts. Color can not only attract clients but brighten spirits in a poor neighborhood, and provide a way of rehabilitating buildings that residents cannot afford to rebuild.

continuing on your theme ... one of my professors designed his house with large panels on the facade where he would put printed images onto and change them out as mood struck.
