Hold off on what the Graffiti wall murals? Why that makes no sense everyone is siked to paint now if we don't follow up on it trust me it will get outta hand and everyone will just be there at 2am tagging everything up because they are waiting and the panels are up plus if we put up signs it will be okay i'm working on that right now. The community knows the walls are up so it's open season for those guys if we don't act upon it fast as far as letting them paint.

Can Luis or someone maybe make a call to the police chief and let him
know what the deal is? It might be easier then having to flash papers
every time a cop decides to roll through there :)

Also, is there any reason why people can't  paint on the existing
panels while we're waiting on the rest?

I'll help spread the word Zulu.

But I'm struck by the pre virus conversations regarding the urban art wall at Heaven. I'm frustrated that "the community" hasn't respected the bounds of what was agreed. I saw that there were tags on the actual pillar which honors the Wexford rebellion....very fucked up on many levels.

I'm on my way out so people can take it or leave it, but knowing how Mayor Segarra feels about ALL graffiti, I wouldn't be surprised if he comes down hard on Heaven and removes all permissions, even the walls on the center building which are looking awesome.

Just saying...

Peace,

Luis

Hey Zulu,

Knox will soon be receiving a donation of office furniture and there will be more furniture than we need. I would be happy to share this with you for the community center......looks like 20 chairs or so, a conference table and maybe a desk or two. This should be happening in a week or two.....so the timing seems right. I will let you know when this happens and we may be able to deliver them to you.
Councilman Cotto......Hartford is going to miss you!

Hey Camacho, do you need any kids toys or books (ages 0-5)?  Also, if you're looking for people to lead crafty kids workshops, I can do crochet, decopage, friendship bracelets, recycled crafts and other stuff like that.
pieces,
(laura)

Yes, let me know when you can stop by. It would be great to get it cleaned up since we have put so much work into that park lately.

Yeah, we definitely need to stay on top of DPW...last I heard (a few weeks ago) they were still trying to get an engineer to look over a few things. It wouldn't hurt to touch base with them. I can call Mark Tamaccio on Monday to see what's happening.
