“Dear PoPville,

Ballsy to spray paint ad on sidewalk!”

Ed. Note: Anyone know if this is “temporary” paint – like it degrades/washes off faster than normal spray paint?

Ugghhhh…this is the worst. Some race coordinators a couple of years ago spray painted all over the sidewalks near Catholic U…stuff like “only 1 more k” “almost done” “5K this way” etc….it annoys me to no end every time I see it. Seems like it will never come off. I hope this one is temporary.

Nice typeface/logo… but spray-painting it on the sidewalk seems like a real jerk move. (Not to mention that advertising on public space isn’t permitted.)

Atleast the city knows who to fine, not that DDOT would ever get around to doing it.

Looks more like the spray chalk used by college acapella groups and utility workers to me. Still pretty clearly a no-no, but not so huge a transgression.

even ballsier, but smart, to then email it to a local blog.

This is better than stapling signs to trees.

Some shitty phone app company has been spraypainting their logo like this on the capital crescent trail. So scummy.

  Agreed. Or yarn bombing trees :^0

It reflects Millennial dissociation between virtual reality and reality…. big problem.

Can we add that phone to any annoying call lists? I think they might want to donate to my grad school, and Trump.
