But a lot of tagging is pretty much anything but ... And also carries the 'message' of neglect, run down, unwanted, sketchy and unsafe ... Which is why business, property owners and municipalities keep trying to 'clean up'.

And incidentally that is precisely the prelude to the story featured here. Mileage may vary, I suppose - but I'm not sure if what happened here is deserving of any real round of applause.
