Anyway I noticed some very nasty and very unsightly graffiti along hwy 50 heading into Sacramento this morning. There are some huge cinder-block looking walls currently under construction along the section of hwy 50 in between Bradshaw & Zinfandel. Anyway someone managed to get the largest letters I've ever seen tagged on the brand new walls. I noticed that the same style tagging or graffiti was on a billboard near Gold River on hwy 50 a few months ago, and even on the Pets Mart building along HWY 50 as well. I thought I saw something similar tagged on the back wall of the shopping center in Broadstone a few weeks back. I drive HWY 50 almost everyday from Folsom to Sacto so I'm very alert to changes along this route. Someone needs to catch these bandits ASAP.

He probably thinks he is pretty cool and the envy of all his friends, too. So sad.

I was vacationing in L.A. last week and on my drive back home I noticed these fresh "taggings" along 50.... and I immediately felt like I was back in L.A. when I saw them!

While I don't think it is funny, I do tease my son about it, because he has the same name that is tagged on those walls. He gets soooo upset about it. It's funny.

Most tagging is gang related. Turf marking. The last part of the massive tag on 50 is probably the gang sign I'm guessing. As much as I think that whole 50 project is a big waste of 110 million dollars and "busy work" for the union workers involved, it really pisses me off that the tagger is going nuts. He should be driven through town in a cage on a flatbed truck, publicly humiliated, and maybe even a few rotten eggs/vegetables thrown in the mix.

the project reminds me of the constant road work in Chicago that union mob bosses secured with Mayor Daley and Rod Blagojevich long ago.

the punishment for norcal's own version of "chaka" should be to spray paint that bastard and everything he and his family has ever owned. then make him scrub off all his graffiti and all other graffiti from California roadways for 3 years.

I noticed that this week, too. Didn't really pay attention to what it said. I just don't understand the mentality and the need to ruin things like that. The mortar is barely dry on those walls.

I would say that most tagging is not necessarily gang related. It's probably a 50/50 split between taggers and gangs.

I was surprised at the size and height of the tags on the petsmart building. How the heck do they do that ?
That tag was 'won love' with something after it -maybe a name.

If it said "won love" then it is the same person who tagged the walls on hwy 50. The name is caleb.

Yeah I'm curious too? How the heck do you spell something out that clearly with paint, and to this magnitude? I showed my wife as we went by and sort of chuckled "did the guy have some sort of car/ truck with a huge paint cannon or fire-truck type spray nozzle?" I've driven Hwy 50 before during early hours and even during the middle of the night, there are usually cars/ Highway Patrol officers constantly driving by... how the heck does this happen and nobody gets caught???
