Lately I’ve noticed a lot of what appears to be dripped paint graffiti around the neighborhood. The biggest group is at 13th and Irving, but I’ve seen some other parts around 13th Street.
It’s strange, because it’s paint directly on the sidewalk, so I’m not sure how you’d remove it. With regular tags you can just paint over it, but that doesn’t seem like an option here.
It looks like LC is the main culprit, as that’s the tag I’ve seen the most of with this paint thing. I’ve seen that tag around the neighborhood for years, mostly on light posts and such. I figured it was some kind of gang tag, but considering it’s here with lots of other tags, maybe it’s just some tagger.
It seems like there’s more graffiti in general around the neighborhood too.
As always, make sure to report graffiti to the city, via 311.dc.gov. To report things without an address, use “1300 block of Irving Street NW” or whatever block.
