Neighbors have reported graffiti on garage overhead door. House belongs to my uncle Ronald L. Buck. House is currently not occupied. Address is 401 E 1st street. Garage is North of house. Can you please check it out to see if it is a gang symbol or something else that might be sinister. I am going to try to get to Bloomington this weekend to attempt to remove or cover it up. My work phone number is 765-884-1090 ext. 107 between 8 am and 4 pm.
Graffiti in multiple places on either side of 118 N. Walnut, including vacant store fronts, City signage, etc.
There is a poster display area on the corner of Kirkwood and Washington (the southwest corner) that has been tagged for the second time in the past couple weeks with the same symbol
Someone spray painted the street on the 1300 block of South Dunn Street with the message "Show me what gentrification looks like. This is what gentrification looks like." from curb to curb. Neighbors are concerned once the message is removed the tagging could shift to houses.

Graffiti painted on an electrical box. Reported by a resident.
My home address is 412 S.High st.Bloomington, Indiana 47401, A black marker was used to make a 8 inch long design on my fence, the outside of my fence, facing Hunter Ave. There is no street light there, it is very dark at night. I took 4 photos of it today, before I use a kitchen scruper pad, and some rubbing alcohol to remove most of it. I then painted over it. Please let me know, email me, if this is a pattern that is happening in Bloomington. I have lived in Bloomington for 3 years. I was thinking of saleing my house, anyway. So if it happens again. I will definitely be saleing my house, and moving out of Monroe county. Bloomington is a nice college town, but not so nice anymore...
There's quite a bit of graffiti on the path and fence on the Poly Grimshaw trail right next to the Park Ridge park, including depictions of genitalia and other offensive items. This was previously covered by black paint, but the paint has worn away.
spray-painted lettering in bold, along with offensive (not necessarily racial/defamatory) vocabulary language, (American English/Hispanol an other foreign languages, etc.) in the jurisdictional/(legal) limit boundaries of Downtown Bloomington, IN, (residential/business/commercial) (U.S.P.S) Postal mailing zip-code(s): 47408(U.S.A), 47404(U.S.A), 47401(U.S.A), displayed across partially (1/4th/2/3rds) of (bldg/facility) exterior wall(s), (metal/wooden) fencing, etc.
The railroad bridge on 11th Street and Fairview is disgusting. Looks like the ghetto on an inner city. I am pretty sure that is why I cannot rent my house out because they have been telling me exactly that. It looks like a shit area!!! A walk to the neighborhood park through that Ghetto Gateway is not desirable!!! Call the railroad and make them clean up their property!! Advocate for your residents!!!!!!!
