The alley that stretches between George and Hanover Streets at the 800 block of Caroline Street was recently vandalized. Known as "Jail Alley", this little gem was the longtime home of priceless urban art until recently when it was destroyed by an unknown culprit. Images that had long been a staple in the Frederickstopia urban art scene were covered in an obscene color of yellowish-green paint.
"The color is offensive," said local urban artist Gabe Pons, "Clearly no thought was put into its application."
"I kind of like it the way it was," said an average guy, "I've never really been into the subversive counter-culture but I thought it looked pretty cool. And it certainly wasn't hurting anything."
"I think it was a good move," said city manager Phil Rodenberg, "I didn't see anything that was overtly offensive but I'm sure there must have been something there that was bad."
Investigations into the matter are still pending but authorities believe it was a group of local facists.
