Questions on the bridge?

An article appears in this morning's LancasterOnline about a Columbia resident disturbed by chalk marks on the asphalt on the Veterans Memorial Bridge.  According to the article, the resident said the marks (left over from the recent Bridge Bust) make the structure look like “a graffiti-covered bridge in Philly.” Today, this reporter took the following shots of the chalk marks. You be the judge of the accuracy of the resident's statements.






On the other hand, the underside of the bridge, near Rotary Park, displays a copious amount of graffiti . . .




And do we even want to discuss the underside of the Wrights Ferry Bridge?




The above message - although potentially true - is ironic in its execution.  Currently, there's no evidence of any budding Keith Harings or Banksys on either bridge - above or below.

Excellent!! I wondered who would think anything on the Columbia/Wrightsville bridge looks like graffiti. He must have quite an imagination, or maybe he was walking under the bridge.

Hard to believe that anyone took this man seriously and the Lancaster paper does a story about it! LOL.
