Who's Blogging  |
From the Columbia Heights listserv:
The arrest last month of the graffiti artist known as Borf provided ample fodder.
Author 1 : This is truly good news. I wonder if the "main borf" is the same borf that borfs everything from Columbia Heights to Shaw to Adams Morgan and beyond. Or, whether there are all sorts of borfs running around. If it is the one and only borf, I say severe punishment! Hell, severe punishment even if it isn't!
Author 2 : . . . I say severe punishment for all who take it upon themselves to take over and destroy public property.
Author 3 : What's really funny is that I live in this neighborhood and all of you people on this list seem quite paranoid. (Am I the only one who is entertained by Borf's antics?)
Author 5 : You would probably be far less entertained if you arose one morning to find Borf's 5-feet tall artistic endeavors painted on the side of your house, your brick wall, patio fence or your car. My neighbor on Columbia Road has been tagged three times and three times he has tried to restore his garden wall.

From MtPleasantdc.org:
The mystery of the stolen ferns became a hot topic on the forum in June.
Author 1: We had two hanging ferns stolen from our porch last Thursday. They were just hanging -- not wired or anything. This is the first time we have had plants stolen in several years but in the past there has been someone that steals planters and hanging plants from porches and tries to sell them Mt. Pleasant Street or in Adams Morgan. Perhaps he is back.
Author 2: Could you give more details on this? I may be able to get the word out about it and hopefully prevent future snatchings!
Author 3: Some hanging impatiens were taken from our front porch this morning too. Our house is set pretty far off the street, so the thief didn't just pick them up as he walked past. Too bad he didn't take the dead plants as well.
