When the sound barrier went up along I-35W two years ago, it quickly became a magnet for graffiti.  Today, the wall is pocketed with patches of dark brown, off-color signs that crews have painted over tags in several areas.
Now neighborhood leaders in Kingfield are taking a different approach they hope will curb the graffiti for good: creating a community mural they believe vandals will respect enough to leave untouched.
The mural will be installed around the entrance to the pedestrian bridge spanning the interstate, just west of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center. Read the rest.
