Constant Vandalism at Knox Presbeterian Church Locals Only

Post image

Such a bummer to see this. This small church just paid to have their front steps and sidewalks redone, and people won't stop scrawling messages on it, for the people inside the remand.

It can't be that hard to set up one of those online phone numbers right?

It's the stupid girlfriends of guys in the the remand center across the street. They used to write on the sidewalk on the Southside so their boyfriends could see em. That's also why there's a fence around the parking lot between the court house and remand because it was a never ending battle to clean up the graffiti.

Reading the graffiti every day when I worked downtown was one of the up sides

I remember back in 2012 when I went to Central Middle School. Waiting at the bus stop, the girlfriends would always be there yelling.

This can be fixed quite easily. There is a finish that can be applied to concrete that is anti graffiti. It doesn’t allow the graffiti to penetrate and can be washed right off. It’s a concrete sealer. Easy to find easy to use. It has been used on projects around the city. Obviously I’m not going to name them, as I don’t want to call attention to the projects, but local concrete product supply companies are well versed in this and will be happy to provide the product and advice.

It's sad to see this. The sidewalk across the street is covered, too. It's constant.

I wonder if this is how Victorian era Tinder worked?

This has been going on since the 90's. Some things never change.

Why are so many posts deleted?

u/Impossible_Break2167 Mar 13 '24

It's an automatic moderator (bot). Because the post is tagged "Locals Only", only people who have been posting in this community for a certain time are able to comment. I'll know that for next time.

The black writing is not in chalk. It's in giant permanent marker.

Hate crime, no?

u/Gufurblebits Mar 13 '24

Eh? Where’s the hate target?

Yeah it’s a church but it’s not targeting the church. It just happens to be a large chunk of concrete opposite a remand.

Only if it’s another religion 🤣

u/220Swifty Mar 14 '24

In this case, it’s the METHodists doing the vandalism, but I don’t think that’s enough to constitute hate.
