Every one of the 33 spray paint cans I have,I had background check conducted for each, except for the one that was given to me.(no color....'Clear Insight/Satin' on the label)

The Shoppes have become neighborhood graffiti for some.Yep- some cheer!

A visitor, former resident (Douglas Anderson student) checked out the ol' neighborhood and a couple of other elements and surmised; we're tryin' too hard

Murray Hill has an "H3" problem. Seems to be everywhere.

Josh Taylor has some pictures coming up, and apparently the vandalism was a lot more than the original pictures, including some pretty direct threats to the business.  Sounds like the We Love Avondale crowd got what they wanted.

Seems like a nice place to raise children.



Sounds like We Love Avondale crowd did the tagging!  Nice people
Bothering locals and trolling boards since 2005

Unreal what those fine upstanding Avondale neighbors have done this time. The tagging wasn't confined specifically to the door on the rear of the building. It also covered the decorative wood paneling behind the building, much of the back wall, the A/C units on top of the building, and some of the front facade as well. Here's a few examples:


On the rear of the building, overlooking the gravel parking lot.


A bit further down the wall. You can also see a small portion of the vandalism on the rooftop above.


Every one of the boards on the left side of the picture was covered with what one of the MM crew described as "hate speech and death threats". They have since been removed and replaced.


This gentleman was in the process of scrubbing "Pizza Nazi" off the Avondale Avenue sidewalk facade of the building when I snapped the pictures. He later gave up and covered the stone with cardboard. The entire limestone block will have to be cut from the facade and replaced later this week.

Definitely reeks of WeLoveAvondale crowd.

Probably one of the "upstanding citizens" of WLA got wasted on spritzers at the Brick and took out some of their aggression on the facade. I haven't been by in a couple weeks, but unless they have recently put up new signage, I don't know how the run of the mill hoodlum would know what the building is for.

The MM signage is now painted over the old Emly Benham/Town space, and a large lit sign proclaiming "THE MELLOW" hangs on the corner of the building nearest The Brick. There's still one lit sign yet to be hung, atop the middle building.

The couple of WLA people I know are among the strongest anti-graffiti people you will ever meet and they are WAY beyond the graffiti age group.  Probably done by a delivery person from Hungry Howies up the road.   :)
When all else fails hug the dog.

There is plenty of footage.Well, how about snaps.

I lost a camera when the oak went down.(*)I figured the very act of placing the very most recent tech teeny tiny camera in that beat up oak tree,as if a clump of moss, climbing up a wee bit to boot for good measure for crying out loud ( I lost a placement debate) was sure to be a matter of survey,and in fact, the possibility was so easily addressed.
Luckily I grew up on Carl Hiaasen novels.And in a neighborhood Sans Graffiti.


*(good thing by the way- clear out the corner,canopy. Breath! Open!)

Maybe run of the mill resident

If this thread was a Carl Hiaasen novel  (apologies Carl!) it would be................... Susan Fraser.
Cast as former Clay County Planner, Beltway Booster et al, (and a couple of tangles with "Know Growth") all the while an Avondale resident....eventually, WLA. Metro Jax blunted even in the face of such Copious News & Information.
Not all Hiaasen is fiction.

Perfect.

Everyone looking at WLA, but this seems like the actions of crowd that's a little more disorderly, a little more crazy.....a little more....ROWDY...
So I said to him: Arthur, Artie come on, why does the salesman have to die? Change the title; The life of a salesman. That's what people want to see.

Everyone looking at WLA,

"Everyone"?

That's a small common denominator as it relates to anything here

Just paint it, come on, how hard is this?

Quoteum, thats a super bizarre claim, and it doesnt do anything but make it worse that WLA, which has apparently decided to walk the line of being a criminal enterprise, would like to blame this kind of thuggery on the wonderful young waiters and servers of the neighborhood.

YAWN!!!!!
