Some of it got cleaned up, some not. So I went to the gas station across the street to ask if they could clean up the graffiti urine stains on their property. I spoke with the attendant for a little while, showed him where the new tags were. This is not a new problem. He pointed to the alley behind the station and said how they had just painted over the whole alley, covered in graffiti. I had to say it looked nice.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of the new graffiti was on the backside of this small billboard. We exchanged many pleasantries, &#8220;I totally understand that it&#8217;s a never ending battle with those jerks&#8230;&#8221; So yesterday I looked out my window and the billboard was being taken down! The attendant told me, &#8220;I talked to the boss. He gets paid to have that billboard up, but he called and had it removed anyway. It&#8217;s better for the neighborhood that way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>+1 for the the 76 Gas Station on the corner of 24th &amp; Valencia (1298 Valencia)<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, I don&#8217;t have any photos of the now removed billboard.
