Putting a fresh coat on the neighborhood: Blogger Ed Kohler spends his spare time away from the computer tooling around various Minneapolis neighborhoods covering gang-related graffiti wherever he sees it. He keeps a power painter, powered by his car battery, in his hatchback at all times. Using “used” paint purchased for as little as $5 a gallon, Kohler does his part to prevent further vandalism and maintain the existing quality of life for the citizens in the neighborhoods where he travels.

Hey, Ed, my whole garage is covered in invisible graffiti, any chance you’d come over and paint it for me?

I think that’s where he’s been. Up and down 38th St, 35W to Hiawatha.
