Hi again, you know its me ;-) The graffiti is back on the overpass on Rogers just north of the Rogers and 11th St. intersection. Places that were cleaned up have graffiti painted over them. There is the word "ORDEAL" written on the west wall and various other fresh taggings that really mean nothing to me except they are ugly. This area of town is in an ascension period and this overpass will probably need to be watched carefully. I will help. You don't need to contact me when you have had time to touch it up. You do an excellent job with this site.
There is graffiti on the utility boxes along Winslow Rd from Walnut to Highland
I have previously compalined to Jeanne Walter Realty about a overgrown yard whose foliage and vines block the stop sign at Swain and E University St. I also complained to the city. Nothing has been done and the vines and bushes have grown worse. The house is on the northeast corner of Swain and E. University. I also told the current renter about the problem. Please have someone fix it since an accident will happen eventually on that corner.
2nd time graffiti is on wall of staircase. See last year's removal report
I live at 817 E 2ND ST. The west side of my garage was tagged last month during the night (3/25/14) with black spray paint; it is the first time my property has been tagged, but a few years ago a person made spray paint drawings on the paved alley. The garage is along an alley mid way between East 2nd St and Hunter Ave. I reported it to the Bloomington Police and an officer came, took statement, and took photos. The case # 3/25/2014-114. I only recently found out from my Elm Heights neighborhood Association that there might be city help to remove the graffiti. Now that the weather is getting warmer, I am hoping that Graffiti Management will help me out. This person also tagged a telephone ground box located midway between 2nd and Hunter.

This defacement (or is it some kind of horrid mural) I believe is on the back of the building housing Boomerang Hair downtown on the B-Line. It is in the somewhat protected section that is behind what used to be Irwin Union Bank and Le Petit Cafe, the back of Boomerang Hair etc. I am not sure if this site is on private property but I indicated that it was.
The train trestle underpass just past Bender Lumber is an incredible eyesore of graffiti. It is an extreme example. I don't know if the city graffiti busters (I was referred to you by Mayor Kruzan) have used black paint to "address" this site, but if so it actually looks much worse. The older train track underpasses all over the perimeter of the city need to be checked and the graffiti addressed. Former Mayor Tomilea Allison's policy was to paint over all the graffiti at a site like an underpass with gray paint to completely remove any trace of tagging and defacement. She did this as soon as it was reported. This discouraged the vandals knowing that no one would see their dog-like marking of that territory.
