Not everyone in the Crossroads thinks it needs a CID
Last week, David Morris spent $100 on paint to plaster over graffiti on city property near his Crossroads Arts District building, where he runs a photo studio. It’s the second year in a row that he has had to do a job he figures the city should handle.
“They won’t do it, and Parks and Rec won’t do it,” Morris says. “The graffiti can be explicit and nasty, and the more you let it build, the graffiti – I won’t call them artists in this case, the graffiti people – if you don’t cover it up, they feel like they can do it more and more.”
That’s why Morris has become a grudging supporter of a proposed community-improvement district that would cover the Crossroads.
