    • Brooklyn Public Library’s Ryder Branch Graffiti Gone!


    by on Aug 4th, 2011

    We did it! – Maybe? – In Bensonhurst Bean’s first civic victory of sorts, the 23rd Avenue side of the Brooklyn Public Library’s Ryder Branch is now graffiti free!

    We first brought you a photo of the poorly spray painted tags last week. Since first seeing the graffiti, we called the library and were assured by a female employee that the building’s unsightly scrawlings would be buffed by the library’s custodian.

    It looks like she wasn’t lying.

    We here at the Bean would like to think our phone call had something to do with this check in the win column for quality of life, even if we just sped up the cleaning by a few days.

      Has anyone cleaned up the graffiti that was sprayed on the sidewalk in front of the private house yet?

        No, I saw it yesterday. Parts of it appear to be fading from the sun, but it is still very noticeable.

      I would like to give BEAN the credit too but maybe that female employee had something to do with it. Don’t you think you could have chosen better words than…”It looks like she wasn’t lying.” ? That is not the way to make contacts and win people over. Next time she might just hang up on you.
