Left Wing reports in that he has seen an increased amount of graffiti in Decatur and all around metro Atlanta recently.  And he worries that much of it may be gang-related.

Recently the Savi Market in Inman Park was robbed of an ATM and the police believe it may be gang related. Also that same night someone threw a rock or something through the window of Hand in Hand in the Highlands.

Not seeing graffitti like I am? Look at your picture for the Medora hair place.

Here’s the link back to the Medora Hair Salon post if you want to take a look for yourself.  I personally didn’t notice it the first time.

Decatur adopted a stronger graffiti ordinance in 2008 requiring property owners to remove exterior graffiti within 15 days.  The city also requires that graffiti on city-owned buildings must be removed within 24 hours.

According to the city’s website, to report graffiti “please send any graffiti sightings and complaints to reportgraffiti@decaturga.com; or call the Public Works department, 404-377-5571, to report graffiti nuisances on public property, including signs and fences.”
