I have made several comments concerning thugs using spray paint. Graffiti is a scurge that irks me when it is found on historic bridges. Seeing thugs wontonly wrecking a beautiful urn ballustrade burns me up even more. I gladly send a strong salute to the fine individuals whom spent time and money to restore what idiots destoyed. The Hert Memorial Bridge is an example of what compassion for a historic bridge is. I wish more people would do the same for other structures crying out for help.
