In Harrisburg, volunteers are taking graffiti removal into their own hands as part of neighborhood beautification efforts. Groups like Capital Area Neighbors and Friends of Midtown, led by residents such as Mark Santanna and Ed Jaroch, have scrubbed graffiti from buildings and public spaces after years of informal cleanups. They often act quickly, sometimes without waiting for bureaucratic approval, using tools like the graffiti remover “elephant snot.” While the work is volunteer-driven and sometimes small in scale, organizers stress that these actions help restore pride in the community. As one volunteer put it, “We live here, and someone’s gotta do it” 🔗Link in bio for more #community #harrisburgpa #pennlive
