GRAFFITI: Let's beautify Cd'A

I know that graffiti is already illegal, but I have seen some pretty ridiculous phrases on some walls like "I am very sorry I did this" and "Loner." I think we should have a painting crew come and paint the bridges that have been vandalized in very bright colors. The painters should paint pictures of some memories of Idaho or even just Coeur d'Alene.

I feel like graffiti is something that people take as an advantage to get their anger out. I think that we should have a place called Paint on Wall somewhere in Coeur d'Alene where people can come and spray paint or even just brush paint their own mini tile for a few dollars. Then Coeur d'Alene can have a memory of everybody that was willing to leave their spirit in Coeur d'Alene.

We all should love Coeur d'Alene and treat our city like we mean it. We should have ways to protect our city because it is a place that people enjoy. Coeur d'Alene's citizens are blessed to live in an area that has beautiful summers and places to live for the homeless. All I ask is if people would treat our city like it is the only city that is available to us.
