Small Business Vandalized

For the second time in only a few weeks, the ex-Chuckwagon, ex-Hollywood Grill restaurant has tagged by graffiti vandals. The current owners, who also operate the Pescado’s seafood restaurant on the Southside, have been doing lots of work on the building in preparation for opening, including installing new windows. Sadly, those were also marred last night by the graffiti.

There have been several troubling reports of vandalism against the community in the last week, which include ripped fences and stolen signs from Hollywood Cemetery, broken bottles on sidewalks, and now this.
