Exactly. And that's the time-proven way to reduce it -- paint over it, scrub it off or whatever -- just get rid of it as fast as possible so the "artist" doesn't get any recognition. OR, you could highlight it on the front page of the local weekly -- might as well offer that pizza as a prize! Kathleen

I have lived through the original ubiquitous graffiti person in Philadelphia: "Bobby Beck" . Later it was "Cool Earl", Chewy" and "Cornbread." It escalated from there. I do not wish to revisit those days. I make it a habit to wipe out tags as soon as they appear whenever I can.

Quite an idea the UC Review had with their "Graffiti Watch" feature -- best tag of the week gets a photo on the front page. I can see this being a BIG disincentive to the neighborhood graffiti artists. Cornbread rides again? Kathleen
