Creative anger in orange spray paint
Posted by Rhiannon Fionn-Bowman on Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 12:38 PM
Bet this got their attention.
Somebody told David Bowden that he needed to put in writing his complaint that water runoff from a town road project is ruining his home.So Bowden did. In fluorescent orange spray paint. In letters 2 feet tall. On the exterior siding of his two-story white clapboard house.
"I didn't know any other way to get their attention," Bowden said Monday, as traffic slowed so passers-by could make out the message: "Screwed by the town of Cary."
Bowden blames the town for water that pools under his house deep enough to lap at the ductwork. The problem started after Cary elevated Southwest Maynard Road in front of the home.
