WASHINGTON (AP) — U Street is mostly deserted when Aceba Broadus and his three-person crew from the District of Columbia’s Department of Public Works start setting up shop before 8 a.m. at one of D.C.’s perennial graffiti hot spots.
They tap a hydrant to fill the 275-gallon tank in their truck and get to work — coating graffiti-covered walls with a special chemical and then blasting them with high-pressure water. The work progresses quickly, but Broadus holds few illusions that their efforts will last long.
