Graffiti
938 N Walnut ST

The train trestle underpass just past Bender Lumber is an incredible eyesore of graffiti. It is an extreme example. I don't know if the city graffiti busters (I was referred to you by Mayor Kruzan) have used black paint to "address" this site, but if so it actually looks much worse. The older train track underpasses all over the perimeter of the city need to be checked and the graffiti addressed. Former Mayor Tomilea Allison's policy was to paint over all the graffiti at a site like an underpass with gray paint to completely remove any trace of tagging and defacement. She did this as soon as it was reported. This discouraged the vandals knowing that no one would see their dog-like marking of that territory.
On the back of the hair salon that's next to Bloomingfoods W. along the B-Line trail, in between some graffiti art, is "F*** B.E.A.D."
Two simple, single-color tags on the north and west walls of the building
The address is actually 118 N. Walnut. There is a black heart spraypainted on the sidewalk directly in front of the building.
