Numerous buildings on Sunset Boulevard were heavily tagged during the Dodgers victory celebration.
The Dodgers’ World Series victory last fall brought jubilation to Los Angeles. It also brought something else to Echo Park: copious graffiti. After the Blue recorded the final out against the Yankees on Oct. 30, the celebrating crowds included scofflaws who tagged a Bank of America branch, other neighborhood businesses, and Metro buses (one was even torched).
Anyone who has lived on the Eastside for a while knows that graffiti is common, and it doesn’t take a championship to get vandals spray painting. Last year, Echo Park recorded 8,101 graffiti clean-ups, according to MyLA311 service request data. That was the 10th highest count of neighborhoods in Los Angeles, according to Crosstown.
