Graffiti update
Location:
Dracena and H,
Bakersfield, CA 93304
The graffiti-covered wall at Dracena and H streets that I blogged about Monday was painted over Tuesday. But now on my way to work this morning, another tagger has hit the wall again. When will it end? Never. But I'll keep reporting it to the City of Bakersfield's graffiti hotline (32-ERASE) and Web site so at least they can stay on top of it and it hopefully won't explode like it did over the weekend. 11 comments from 8 users

A good ol' boy with a deer rifle could solve that problem. When one of these punks starts to paint, blow the can out of his hand with a 30.06 round. posted by

It's not just that one building - the dentist's office and the office building on the other side of the parking lot got hit too. Oh, how I hope they're caught - and what I would like to have done to them isn't fit to print! posted by

OB: sure didn't used to be a "ghetto". The Oleander area used to be a "posh" area to live. I lived on Bank Street between F and Oleander and it was a great place to be in the 50's & 60's. How sad people let neighborhood go to hell like that. posted by

According to Bakersfield.com's Gang Turf map, that area along H Street is overlapped by three local gangs: Westside Crips, Varrio Bakers and Asian Boyz. Maybe all the graffiti is part of a turf war??? posted by

witter, my ex-wife used to live at the corner of Dracena and Holtby, back in the late 70's, before we got married. It was safe, quiet, and a very nice neighborhood. But that was 30 years ago. Can't say that about the Oleander area anymore. posted by

This type of activity is why I advocate neighborhood cleansing. We need the 2008 version of Charles Bronson. posted by
