Thursday's parting shot
An EVG reader shared this photo from early this morning ... 4:50 a.m. to be exact when Con Ed had two workers spend two hours or so power washing the graffiti-filled substation along Avenue A between Fifth Street and Sixth Street...

Your remarks and lively debates are welcome, whether supportive or critical of the views herein. Your articulate, well-informed remarks that are relevant to an article are welcome.
However, commentary that is intended to "flame" or attack, that contains violence, racist comments and potential libel will not be published. Facts are helpful.
If you'd like to make personal attacks and libelous claims against people and businesses, then you may do so on your own social media accounts. Also, comments predicting when a new business will close ("I give it six weeks") will not be approved.
And the cost of that graffiti vandalism is included in your Con Ed bill; just remember that if you think "tagging" is just a fun thing kids do.
ReplyDeleteThese workers should hire out independently in the EV. Lots of work for them.
ReplyDeleteI wish the graffiti kids could develop a style instead of copying everything done in the 70's and 80's. I guess when you are a pretender that's the best you can do.
ReplyDeleteYeah I’m sure the two hours of this guy power washing are driving your bills up and not the millions of dollars coned execs pay themselves every year: https://www1.salary.com/CONSOLIDATED-EDISON-INC-Executive-Salaries.html
ReplyDeleteIt's totally covered again!
ReplyDeleteThere's a security camera in these photos. Does it work? Does anyone give the footage to the cops? Can the cops be arsed to take action?
ReplyDeleteRe: Noble Neolani "graffiti kids"
ReplyDelete"US justice officials have issued an arrest warrant for Dutch resident Robbert Boxem who went to New York as a ‘graffiti tourist’, the International Herald Tribune reports. The paper says the 23-year-old from Zwolle could get up to four years in prison if convicted. He has been indicted on charges of spray-painting a subway carriage and leading police on a dangerous chase along the tracks."

@10:54am: Yes, it does add up, especially if it has to be done every day of the year!
ReplyDeleteThey finally cleaned all the garbage surrounding the bldg… after many called 311. The garbage is was worse than the graffiti for me .
ReplyDeleteThis situation - the casual, entitled vandalism, and the need for others to expend time & energy & money to clean up after the vandals - is one more accurate example why American society is going down the drain. Vandals are destructive, period; they are drag on society and they do nothing but destroy.
ReplyDeleteDon't even call this shit "graffiti"; it's just crap done by jackasses who haven't got an intelligent idea in their heads. They are just losers.
