Graffiti

The graffiti at the long-empty gas station in front of the Wal-mart complex at Route 1 and Schoolhouse Lane has raised the hackles of one long-time East Marlborough Township resident. In an email to me she notes that, in a discussion of graffiti in a recent Kennett Paper story, Kennett Township Police Chief Albert McCarthy was quoted as saying that "it was important to discourage the people doing it by removing it as soon as it appears" and that "he, the roadmaster, and volunteers made it a point to take graffiti off road signs as soon as it was spotted."
Said the Chief: "We just really have to stay on top of it."
My reader agreed: "March on! Chief McCarthy!" She challenged her township, East Marlborough, to do the same and remove graffiti promptly wherever it appears. She said whenever she is at that intersection she hopes for a green light so she doesn't have to look at the eyesore. 
I just drove by the site and what surprised me was the fact that all the glass on the south side, facing Route 1, is still intact.
