I thought you all were on top of this sitch.
What’s your long-term plan, DPR? Oh, I know, give you all more money. But if that’s not going to happen, what if we just take this whole statue thing out? Would you like that DPR?

Anyway, I think KKKatie is still in the hoosegow, but SFNOB(?) and cat-face have taken over the reigns…
It goes back and forth, but lately, RPD has been in the game.
(Perhaps local real estate interests have the ear of the powers that be these days.)
Here’s what 2011, 2010, 2010, and 2010 looked like.
And this here is the sitch a third of the way through 2012:

Looks fine to me.
That’s the update.
Leaving you will a gallery of older graffiti:
If you tell me what this says, then I’ll see it the way you do.
Until then, I see, “Specy”

Hey look, KKKatie has managed to keep her little mittens off of the McKinley statue lately.
Hurray!
Last I heard, KKKatey is still in jail, right? So who’s messing up this giant statue now? Why don’t we just give it back if we’re just going to abandon it to the East End Boys and girls with their makers and spray paint and whatnot?
Oh, I guess we ourselves built it, but maybe we should move it to a place where won’t serve as a graffiti beacon?

Look at this, Teddy Roosevelt visited the west end of Golden Gate Park back in the day, just south of the NoPA, west of the EaPA, and north of the SoPA.
See?
What would Teddy say if he could see this statue in the state its in now?
I mean, he spent time traveling here when he could have been in Africa killing ever more elephants, right?
Oh well…
Appears as if ORFN has gotten a few licks in on our iconic William McKinley statue in the east end of Golden Gate Park.
See?

Here’s some history ‘n stuff:
“Well it’s been a back-and-forth between San Francisco’s Arts Commission / Recreation and Park Department and our local graffiti artists/taggers down in the Golden Gate Park Panhandle.
This east-end statue has had all kinds of anti-graffiti coatings applied, but to no avail. Here’s the history, complete with before and after photos.
The newest additions appear to say, “KKKattie” or somethingund “All this means nothing.”
Now, would you pay something like $10K four figures for these scribblings? Well, guess what, tax and fee payer, you just did.
As it looks today. This fetching couple tried to make the best of things:
