Today I started removing and covering graffiti along Division, Cooper Point and Bowman. All I used was some Goof Off Graffiti Remover, a paint scraper, some steel wool and some gray paint. It went quick and I covered a lot of ground. Thanks to the lady that yelled "THANK YOU!" to me as she drove past, it made my day. If we all did a little bit we could stay on top of this graffiti. We make this community what it is.
» Here is a link to some before and after pics. If anyone is interested in painting over and needs paint the Habitat for Humanity ReStore (753-1575) has a bunch and it is really cheep.
