As we walked past Chipotle down on Diversey and Clark this week, we couldn’t help but notice huge, giant swaths of graffiti on the exterior of the new build-out at 606 W. Diversey, next to Chipotle. The markings have been scrubbed off, but you can still see the shadows of them there.
Then, this morning, a CWB reader sent us the picture above. Classy. Notice that they even managed to deface the top of the billboard above “iPad.”
We also received an email recently from a reader who snapped pictures of apparent gang tags around the neighborhood, including one on or next to the Inter-American Magnet School, which sits behind the 19th district police station.
Here are his pictures, some of which are clearly gang-related, as well as others that we could not get a consensus interpretation of.
