Is it me or does WNJ letter writer Denise Craig hit the nail right smack on the head? She says,
Graffiti in the west Wilmington area is everywhere. I think it's an epidemic in northern Delaware in general.I live in the WoodCrest community near Banning Park and St. Matthew's Church, and am disgusted and embarrassed at the graffiti that keeps popping up each day. I have begun to clean it off in my spare time only to have it show up in the same places weeks later. I laughed while traveling down I-95 North only to see graffiti all over the very expensive "traffic alert" signage.
Additionally, even locations considered to be higher income residential areas such as Hockessin and Greenville are not escaping the plague.
I must admit to uttering a "CRIPES!" the other day as I was driving through north Wilmington. The quantity of graffiti is indeed appalling. It covers street signs small and large, utility boxes, bus stop stalls. Generally "upscale" neighborhoods aren't immune.
Maybe it'll take complaints from residents in those areas to get some action taken.
