Neighbors turn eyesores into art

From Staff Reports

Two years ago, Casa View resident Heidi Bassett noticed that the trash enclosure behind the Wash-n-Dry at Ferguson and Joaquin was covered in graffiti. She approached Jeremie Fletcher Bourcy, a local artist in the neighborhood with mural experience, to discuss painting the enclosure as a Little Casa View Neighborhood Association neighborhood improvement project. 

Mr. Ahn, the property owner, approved the project, and neighborhood volunteers helped Jeremie paint the mural that spring. The response to the artwork was overwhelmingly positive and it has remained graffiti free ever since.

Jereime painted the first utility box in the area, too, which drew a lot of attention. Visit littlecasaview.org for more information.
