OK, #11, why not post your address so they can use your house, garage, fence, etc. for their canvas.

As most have figured out it was taken of the Westover Hills Library. I didn’t realize they had taken them down. I too like the shape of those letters and it would be a real shame if they were just tossed.

Find out when the branch was built and look for popular fonts from that era.

Property damage and vandalism aren’t acceptable, and are in fact crimes. These guys were caught in the act and should be punished.

Graffitti ‘artists’ can always go purchase their own canvas or other surfaces to use as backgrounds for their creative expression, which in this case is signing their name on any available surface.

Which, if you think about it, is not unlike a dog cocking it’s leg to mark its territory.

Is every self employed lawn/yard worker truly a threat? – we have a lovely older gentleman who cuts the grass here and all he’s got is a pickup truck and a lawnmower.

that is not gang graffiti…and i think richmond police have more to focus on with all the armed robberies, muggings, gunplay, and murders. Every city has graffiti in it and that should be the least of the cities worries.

Clay, i actually was trying to identify that font for you at http://www.myfonts.com but didn’t find it. what did they do with the old letters? I’d love to have some of those.

It’s not O’Tooles, that’s the 47 or 4800 block of FHA. I’m going to guess that office building on Westover Hills, between the Wallgreens & the Dollar General.

to #6, yes, RACC does euthanize animals but it does not down come to that as frequently as you might imagine. Adoptable dogs that run out of time at the pound are typically picked up by a small army of volunteers for a network of no-kill rescue groups, including the Richmond SPCA.
The outlook for lost/stray animals has improved dramatically in Richmond over the last couple of decades.

Slightly related; once a month RACC comes to the South of the James Market and has an adoption event. The opportunity is provided by the market manager at no charge as a community service.

RACC is where we take animals when all other avenues have been exhausted.

While the city shelter has improved considerably over the years, in my opinion it is not very roomy and I would not want to subject a lost pet to any further stress.

Typically we find the rightful owners withing 2-3 days, and have even housed lost dogs for up to 2 weeks.
We put signs up at the shelter with contact numbers so that, if the owners got here, they have a means to contact us.

Cute pup, if I didn’t already have 2 I would be signing up to adopt if the owners weren’t found! Amy (#2 poster): I thought that the Richmond Animal Control was a kill center, is that true? I’m not trying to spread rumor, just trying to get the right story. I know the SPCA is a no-kill center. thanks!

Looks like one of these losers may have been previously arrested up in Northern VA. I bet that is where mommy and daddy live…

Might I ask? Was the flea collar present when you found her? If so, I would think there’s a responsible parent out there who’s missing a pup.

There is another Cajen tag at 2nd and Byrd…so, one at either end of the expressway overpass.

At #2, the short answer would be “NO”.

From time to time, I see this kind of post, and I am struck by what a decent group of people there are out there. It would have been a lot easier just to have ignored the dog and hope it would be gone when you come home. Thanks, Jay, for taking a moment for this dog.

If the dog was found in the city of Richmond, I recommend turning her in to Richmond Animal Care and Control, the city shelter on Chamberlayne. The benefit of the shelter is that it provides a central, known location for the guardians of lost pets to go and check to see if their dog/cat has been turned in or picked up by animal control. The shelter can scan for microchips and they are experienced at reuniting lost pets with their guardians (they require photo ID of missing pets, etc.). This is also easier for you than making ‘lost dog’ posters, sending Twitter messages, etc., and doing so opens up the possibility that any Joe off the street might come claim the dog as theirs (they can even say, “my dog was wearing a green collar” because of the posted photos…). Better to let the city shelter do their job. Dogs that come in with a collar are held for something like 10 days and, if no guardian comes forward proving this is their lost pet, they can then put the dog up for adoption. Trust me, unless this little dog were vicious, and it doesn’t sound like she is, she would be highly adoptable and would not be put to sleep. As a volunteer at the shelter, I encourage you to bring the dog in so she can be reunited or re-homed. And, by the way, thank you very much for helping this dog! Too many people would have just let her run along, figuring it is not their problem or that she’ll surely find her way home. It is wonderful that you are helping her out–kudos!

Not much charm in that section of Forest Hill and Westover Blvd. At least the new development would have been NEW- though I have to admit I don’t know anything about the former proposed plans. It would have been nice to get a restaurant or market…

Judging by the confiscated items, I am sure the sketch books (and picture books) will link the artwork to the artist and provide plenty of proof. I agree the comment above is innappropriate and does not add to the discussion. Artists are proud of their work and go to great lengths to have their work visible. Although, I am certain this is not gang related. Just a run of the mill graf crew doing some late night, drunken bombing. This time they got busted. I propose A LOT of community service and HEAVY fines. The jails are crowded enough.

Maldini’s dinner menu is good, and their pizzas are very good for this neighborhood. What is troublesome, though, is that they have not been interested in being a part of the neighborhood. They don’t support neighborhood acitivities, never joined the merchant’s association, etc. A good business, good food, glad to have them, but not the best neighbors.

Maldini’s, they have a lot of good items but pizza just isn’t one of them in my opinion. Don’t think they are in jeopardy.

I’m sorry about the inappropriate comment by one person, but gang tagging is something that police departments in most urban areas understand quite well. I don’t know the details of what is or is not a legitimate tag, but they do. Officer Kuper does an excellent job for our communities, and if he is asking for help, I think we ought to provide it, without the vulgarities.
