Mangled condo fencing at bottom of Portland Place isn’t as much of an eyesore as the concrete wall smack against the sidewalk just up the street where the owner struggles continually with graffiti. Why doesn’t the City commission a wall mural for this site, or take out part of the sidewalk at the base of the wall and put in some trees or shrubs? It has been an eyesore for decades. —Eyes on the Street

I believe this is a valid Bitch.
Grrrrfiti is a reality. And some of them guys(and gals) are actually artists. I believe the city should use them to comission murals and public art spaces. It discourages many taggers, brings some pride to the artists, shows we value art as a society, and other things.
Anyone agree?

Yeah, absolutely! And then we can videotape ourselves as we walk through an artistic-graffiti adorned alleyway, ranting about the latest political scandal or current affairs, just like Rick Mercer!
Seriously though, I’m all for it. Commission some talented local graffiti artists and take away the potential tagging spaces. Just like they do with the electrical/phone boxes around town. I think it’s cool.
I’d like to see that, as well. I’d also like to beat the spacktard who squiggled on the eagle mural on the electrical box across from Sir Edward Cornwallis Mall to death with a frozen leg of lamb and then roast and eat the murder weapon.
mmmmmm Laaaammmmbbbbbb.
better stock up on lamb admiral http://www.thestar.com/news/article/108244…
Never has duty been so pleasureable….
Hee Hee…you said “du-ty”
I realize that statue was on college campus but it’s still a GD war memorial. Those POS vandals are essentially desecrating a grave. Absolute total lack of respect. Grrrr!
grrrrrrooooo
Hulk SMASH!!!
I for one could easily eat lamb every day….
bring on the bastards!
Why not have a sniper with a Barrett make a mural out of the next asspick who draws on the wall? That’ll cure the problem REAL quick.
Jerkoffs.
its easy enough to put security cameras on high vandal areas, arrest the kids and send them back to jail. Then we can form anti-graffitti chain gangs to clean the place up.
Never heard of Portland Place. Maybe the property owner could tilt the concrete wall so when those graffiti assholes come up, voila, it falls and crushes them on city property. Problem solved.
