More than a dozen Hollywood Boosters, Hollywood Lions and community members took an important step on a recent Friday in March to revitalize their business district by cleaning and painting over graffiti at Reo’s Ribs on the corner of 42nd and Sandy. Lonnie Schlegel of McBride Construction Resources provided paint and tools.
“It is important to return our business community to its unique visibility in our city and revitalize the businesses,” said Gary Balo, Hollywood Lion and former owner of Paulsen’s Pharmacy. “We chose Reo’s Ribs as our inaugural graffiti cleanup site because of its central and visible location in the Hollywood District. In my 45 years involvement as a Hollywood business owner, I feel we are all family and deserve to support each other to survive and thrive. We hope our graffiti clean up will inspire other businesses and landlords to step up and address this issue.
Many have already completed or have started to clean up.”
Balo also asked businesses that boarded up their windows during last year’s protests to consider removing the boards now.
“The risk level is minimal, with more peaceful demonstrations,” he said. “Both the Hollywood Lions and the Hollywood Boosters stand ready to address future graffiti issues.”
If any business in the district needs help painting over graffiti, they can call Hollywood Booster Paul Clark at 503-281-8891.
