Westmount needs a graffiti enema.

I love that sometimes I don’t need to wander far for a quick story…  here’s one.  Megafun productions across the way was having graffiti removed this morning.  Yes on June 24th.  Amazing.  Oh and the garbage crew did a run as well, trying to fool half the population who would have imagined they would have got the day off.  They almost got me.

So back to graffiti.  Personally I love well drawn street art, but quick tags on every visible surface is just really annoying.  And is starting to get out of control in my opinion.

Here’s a private crew from graffiti solutions making a few tags go bye bye.

-They have pump bottles of ‘product’ which the retag the wall with… let it work then pressure spray the graf right off.

They weren’t done when the dog really really really wanted to back upstairs, so I’ll have to post a ‘after’ shot tomorrow.  But it’s all gone.  Until the next deucebag pops a spray can on that corner.

    […] I remembered to snap a pic of the “post graffiti cleanup” on the corner of Greene and St Antoine.  This is an update to a post back in June. […]
