“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if we can find out any information on how the community can help, if it can be cleaned up or repainted, and if there would be a GoFundMe or the like to help with restoring it? Some places are fine to graffiti up, but over an artwork mural like this is definitely not appropriate.”
Ed. Note: The mural has been in this condition since July. At that time the Woodley Park Main Street wrote:
“Woodley Park Main Street is already working with the ANC and store owners to see the mural restored. I love graffiti (I used to run Dupont Underground,) but tagging over someone else’s work is just disrespectful.”
