While Denver is home to a lot of impressive street art, there has been a influx of another kind of painting in the city, and restaurants and bars are being targeted. Tagging is on the rise, and the damage is costing owners thousands of dollars in repair fees and security.opened Bar 404 at 404 Broadway late last year
This type of paint is called acid etching, something that's been around for thousands of years. First developed in the Middle Ages, when goldsmiths and gun makers would use chemicals to decorate their products, it's made a comeback and is used by graffiti artists because it's much more difficult to remove.
Over at 601 East Colfax Avenue, Tom's Diner is in the process of reopening as a cocktail bar and lounge called Tom's Starlight."We've followed every guidance that the business improvement district and city gave us. We spent a lot of money on fencing and markings that delineate that this is private property," notes Antonin Robert, president of community development for GBX Group, co-developer on the project.
He says that law enforcement and the city have done little to protect these businesses, despite many owners reporting graffiti incidents."This issue is getting worse every day. It's not just the cost to one business, but this community is being affected by criminals who are not being prosecuted. At some point the city will have to step in and do the proper job of protecting the citizens and businesses in the community," Robert says.
