The city knows about it and he has permission to do it. It makes the area look so much better - much more fun.kate sweetenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456543724486391157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266742625763583152.post-37178302633940159862010-09-03T03:29:30.869-07:002010-09-03T03:29:30.869-07:00Well summed up Ann.

It's gorilla art, that's for sure and definitely defaces property. <br />Having worked with gang members and high risk teenagers I will have to say that it's the least of their damage to society and for some of these kids it's an expression of their lives. Some are very good artists.<br />We need to find a way for these people, these "artists", to express themselves in a legal way because I think that a blank wall or the side of a box car looks much better when it's covered with all this "artwork". <br />Maybe we could just find them the right "canvas" instead of calling them criminals.farmladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516462251842458511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266742625763583152.post-24592728346274934332010-09-02T09:02:29.992-07:002010-09-02T09:02:29.992-07:00some people just love to so that.some people just love to so that.wennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535757998884625545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266742625763583152.post-3480901558023075972010-09-02T05:37:00.261-07:002010-09-02T05:37:00.261-07:00Yes, I must say that I agree with your comments.

They got our church once and we had to call the police. Now some graffiti is very pretty and artistic, but others are filthy and ugly. Whatever it is, it is defacing property.Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.com
