Right...and the tooth fairy lives. Why is it hard to believe that AR kids would tag?

These people had to move from somewhere, right? Also, there are some apartments behind Wal Mart within walking distance and their are mobile homes within walking distance (not that apartments or mobile homes make people tag). The fact is, I'd be willing to bet that the taggers live within a mile or so of the area.

It is one thing to drive a distance to do a daring, over the highway sort of tag, it is quite another to simply spray some initials on a wall. Just like the folks in Stone Oak (as reported on the news the other day) are finding, these little taggers come from all economic backgrounds.

We need a sniper with NVGs.

I meant to say that these kids live around the retail center. Within walking distance, not necessarily driving distance.

I just moved here, and have lived in some sketchy areas in Ohio and Virgina and have NEVER seen the amount of graffiti I did just yesterday! Wow!

Not that I don't believe it could be AR kids lord know it could be, but where did you get this info? And I have to agree it has to be people within walking distance as I don't see them pulling over and parking to do their tagging.

Who ever sees them, period? For all anyone knows, they are coming in on magic carpets. However, I really don't think it's that far-fetched that it might be AR kids.

Anyone seen the Mike Yuchnitz (My 39.99 Optical guy) commercial where he is going off on taggers. I guess they've hit up his building so he had to say something.
I am usually the one on this forum saying how I love graffiti art and how I support the city having graffiti parks where graffiti artist can do their thing but I have to admit that there really is starting to be too much vandalism across the city.

funny thing is that is how his son got into the tattoo business. his father knew his kid was a "wannabe" graff artist all through high school. the only difference is that most kids dont have a millionaire dad to help them channel that talent.

Talent? Does he actually do tattoos himself? I thought he was just pimpin some of the good artist in town, (Collin if you read this no offense to you).
