Several Tags Removed!!! More appear...

Big kudos to Juan Camillo from the Mayor's Office and Jasmin Benab from the Columbia Heights Shaw Collaborative for removing all of the graffiti that covered the corner of Irving and Georgia.  Not only had it been painted on the retaining wall at the Bruce Monroe park, but also across the street at 3100 Georgia and 703 and 705 Irving, it was splayed across private businesses.  Thank you to all who helped to remove these dangerous tags.

Unfortunately, "Chung" tagged the second story of 3118 after it was just repainted.  Disgusting.  I wish these kids knew what a negative impact graffiti has on their neighbors and neighborhoods.  I've seen a rash of  "Chungo" appear within the last couple of weeks on several places in our neighborhood, but not "Chung."  Maybe he got spooked and didn't finish it.

There is also recent tagging on the abandoned building at 2827 Georgia Avenue, at the corner of Harvard and Georgia.  Many of the same tags we've seen up north are also located several blocks south.

Across the street from this building there is more tagging at 2901 Georgia.  I've seen this tag farther north as well--I believe on the side of Morgan's Seafood.
