There is graffiti all the way down the sidewalks on Smith Ave, between Lincoln and Henderson Streets. The graffiti says "FTP" and "F12" which means "F*ck the Police." I am a student and just moved in. I heard Bloomington is very welcoming, but this graffiti did not make me feel welcome. I hope it can be removed before classes start and more students come back.
Graffiti on retaining wall visible from street.
Can the city blow out/vacuum the leaves/litter in the gutters/curbs/sidewalks on Kirkwood Avenue just east of Walnut Street? This is one of the “signature” streets of Bloomington, and it looks as if this maintenance hasn’t been performed in some time. The present condition fails to give the proper impression of the city of which Bloomington touts itself, especially at this time of year when we have many first-time visitors to the city. Thank you.
There is a disturbing message spray-painted on a bridge over Adams St. that reads "visualize dead landlords." (It is the bridge that has Hoagy Carmichael's Star Dust song on it.) It has been there at least one month. It seems to me that it would be good to smudge it out. Thanks for your attention.
In the alley between the Ifell building downtown and 200 S madison street apartments, there is a little doorway-esque nook in the building underneath the hipster records people, first floor. in the nook, there's a big red swastika. just noticed it today, 9/24/21, don't walk by there too often so not sure how long it has been there. please paint over it soon!! thank you for the work you do <3
Obscene Graffiti on the ground at the corner of the used bookstore and alleyway.
There are two swastikas spray painted on utility boxes in the alleyway attached to the Osteria Rago building. I notified the restaurant on 1/19/22 and nothing has been done about it still.
