Are the measure taken at the city level enough? One tagger was reported to have been caught with the good on him but, by city estimates, there are at least 30 different taggers at work in the Northend. Possibly more. One possible solution is to put in some webcams so Northenders can monitor areas most often affected - like Hyde Park, Boise High School and North. The first line of response is reporting graffiti and then painting it over as soon as possible. The reason for the need for prompt action in painting over graffiti is once you are tagged you become a target for others.

Over the years we have received complaints about the food, dishonest vendors, musical lyrics, near death experiences along North 13th and more. We've also gotten notes of encouragement, applause directed to specific vendors and thanks for the event in general..."a great party". This year we've heard about $3.00 bottled water, too few trash cans and the usual gripes about parking. Lets hear your stories - good and bad - about the 2007 edition of the Hyde Park Street Fair!
