Parks patron: hey what are you gonna do about that graffiti?
Me: it's on the side of a business building, so the business owner has to take initiative
Patron: but it's visible from the trails!
Me: it is not on our property, so it falls on the owner of the business.
Patron: don't you have a graffiti task force?
Me: no, sir.
Patron: when I lived in Georgia we had a graffiti task force that would take care of that.
Me: we do not have that here.
Patron: you'd think the parks and rec people would take care of graffiti in their parks.
Me: we do. This is not on a park. It is on a business.
Patron: you see, there is also a sticker.
...
I'm sorry, is the sticker menacing you somehow? Is it scary? Are you being threatened by the vinyl?
Like I'm not saying it's great art
It's fucking ugly.
But also what you want me to do about it? Spend a day scraping it off the side a building whose owner is famously difficult to get ahold of?
Truthfully, the skateboarders that made it have been adding to it every few months and I kind of want to see where they go with it.
