Edgewood Park, Wednesday, March 25

Appreciate them putting some info up in the park. I intentionally walked around the park yesterday it was so busy.

Communism never has been and never will be the solution for problems like this.

The underside of the Edgewood Ave. Bridge had in the past been regularly tagged with ugly graffiti which the Parks Department intermittently painted over with institutional gray. And then one morning, about two years ago, I ran through the park to discover to my great pleasure that some civic minded soul (non-profit arts group?) painted a colorful and beautiful design of which now only remnants remain.

Some selfish persons felt entitled to impose their "art" over it. First it was the standard bubble letters and then a vague Antifa message which I imagine was written by some revolutionary wannabe and now this.

Can we please have some respect for real artists and beauty in this world? (See for example the Coogan Pavilion if you want to view what real graffiti artists can do. Thankfully that has been respected so far.) Your revolution can be accomplished with chalk or paper posters. Times are depressing enough. I and everyone else at this point know to wash my hands and stay home when sick. Whoever did this added nothing. They simply contributed to the destruction of an unexpected aesthetic pleasure under a bridge.
