a blog about stuff around here... Ellicott City and Columbia, MD
Over the past year the amount of graffiti in the Dobbin Road area of Columbia has increased substantially. First it was limited to less visible locations along the pathways but now the urban artists are blatantly defacing buildings and now even vehicles.
It’s pretty interesting…someone with this same name, probably in her 60’s or so (just a guess) went into a Citibank in Chicago just this week with a large bag of change that she wanted to have...
Nice post https://virtual-staging.arc... .
Hi there, I'm researching a researcher by the name of Kenneth Blum... am hoping whoever made this post is still around to chat: zasiegel@usc.edu is my email. Thanks.
I learn some new stuff from it too, thanks for sharing your information.

Not to make light of this serious problem, but I think it is a marvelous testament to Howard County public schools that the graffiti on the generator near Dobbin Center says "We're back!" demonstrating a level of grammar rarely seen in the days of internet and text speak.
Grammar and punctuation. Ahem.
I blame Gary Arthur.
"This stuff is getting out of hand."
Predictably.
Why?
1. Poor outdoor lighting design.
a. Unnecessary illumination of exterior vertical surfaces, both from a duration and intensity standpoint. Nighttime cloudy skies shouldn't glow like they do because of the lighting overkill seen all too often around here.
b. Commercial property light pollution standards that were relaxed by the Council a few years ago, actually permitting in some instances more light pollution and intrusion onto adjacent property.
I am dumbfounded at some of the exterior lights some businesses burn around the clock, illuminating tree tops, beaming direct light source glare horizontally and even upward.
2. Insufficient outdoor design covenants.
Unsolicited contributions then find fertile canvases among the unattended, but already festooned-with-"Hey look at me" advertising with plenty of lighting so the tagger can see what they're doing and know others will see the final result.
When's the last time you found graffiti in a normally dark place?
Dim the lights and enjoy the sights.
