Letter: Reader disturbed by graffitti on playground equipment LETTERS & FEEDBACK To ColumbiaMagazine.com This evening my husband and I took our two little girls to the Road Side Park to enjoy the new playground, and eat supper. When we arrived I was very disappointed to see that someone had taken spray paint and wrote all over this new equipment. I am sure it was some young child with nothing better to do, but this is very disturbing. I pay taxes for things like this, and would like to be able to enjoy it without my kids asking what H...E...L...* spells. To whoever did this I hope someday you grow up! One day you will have children of your own and maybe you will understand. If you want to be an artist I say take a art class.
