[RP TownTalk] Broken window theory

[ABragg7393 at aol.com]

Driving by the old bookshop at the train station, I noticed that the window 
 was broken out with a tarp over it and the words "good night Irene".  I  
guess blaming it on the hurricane of the same name.  Weeks have passed and  
now as I drove by this weekend I see graffiti all over the side (rail road) 
of  the build ling.  This is The Broken Window Theory at work.  (google  this 
and see how one little thing can lead to more of the same)
When Simon and I ran the bookshop someone crashed into that same window on  
a Saturday night.  By Monday afternoon, we had a new window installed and  
the boards removed from the old window and a new window in there as well.   
It just takes a phone call and you can get the work done.
 
I love this little town and I would like to keep it in good repair.   
Hopefully someone in authority will contact the owners and remedy this  situation.
 
Unless I am way off base and the graffiti is really "art".
