Description

I discovered the spray paint on this business two weeks ago when I visited the neighboring Boston Market. The employees at Boston Market explained the spray paint has been on the building for over three months. As you can see from the pictures what has been spray painted on the building is politically charged.

After seeing this I reached out to the manager of the complex, Marcel Pearl, by phone and email. He responded and said the owners do not know how to remove the graffiti and do not have a date in mind as to when it will be removed. The presence of this spray paint defacing images of black people only strengths the present political divides in our country and community. I hope that a blight violation from the City will motivate the business to respect the community it is in and remove the spray paint immediately. As my communications have been unsuccessful.

Best,
