Wednesday April 25 at 6:30pm - The Great Port Richmond Junk Cars Bandit Sign Clean Up
Forums:
When: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 6:30pm
Where: The Port Richmond K-Mart (3301 Aramingo Ave)
What: The Great Port Richmond Bandit Sign Clean Up
After: We celebrate our great victory at the Port Richmond Pour House (2253 East Clearfield Street) because that bar is great
We're going to tear down all the "Junk Cars" bandit signs. And we're going to save them and turn them over to the Mayor.
Try and wear gardening gloves. I'll bring a few extra pairs. My hands got cut up pretty bad removing the ones in ORCA.
Details here:
RSVP or direct questions to
Why are there so many bandit signs on Aramingo Ave? You would have to ask Michael Clements. His telephone number is 215-740-6116.

We'll meet in front of the K-Mart. Then we'll each take different blocks of Aramingo. I'll drive a few people further north. Then we'll all meet back at the K-Mart.
Bring gardening gloves. I will bring some extras.
This shouldn't take long.

I donated several ice scrapers to NKCDC... I know this isn't NKCDC sponsored but I can ask Phil if he's willing to help out and bring the donated scrapers.
Another tool for rapid removal of paper bandit signs is a large screwdriver. You can snake the screwdriver behind the paper signs and pull them off at the corners to strip the sign off easily.

Just don't throw out the bandit signs!
We are saving them to help L&I build a case. I have spoken with David Abernathy from the city of Philadelphia. If we provide the city with the Junk Car Guy's name and all the bandit signs, they will fine him into oblivion.

Just don't make fun of me because I'll probably be in a suit. Leo makes me wear one to work everyday, as opposed to the camouflage shorts I prefer.

Don't forget, this is tonight.
Action plan:
- Take down Bandit Signs
- Give the signs to me and Chris. We are building a case for L&I.
- Celebrate at Port Richmond Pour House
Dan - we do not have the name of Junk Car Guy yet. We're working on it. If anyone sees someone putting up bandit signs registered to 215-740-6116, please try and take down the make and model of the car, license plate, etc. Report it to me and Chris. DO NOT ENGAGE HIM.

Thanks to all who came out. It's great to see ORCA and Port Richmond joining forces, in what can only be the most kenzo-riffic ever created.
Port Richmond is now mostly bandit sign free.
Next step: the city has agreed to prosecute these losers.

I found a spot at my shop to keep them. They are all bundled and safe. I have room for a bunch more. Rip them down and bring them to the shop on Thursdays for Thirsty Thursday. We are open 10-7, but from 4-7, free beer and bourbon to anyone who brings in a sign. https://www.facebook.com/phillysalvage

By my math, it'll cost him $150 per pole. He's digging his own grave. If the signs along Aramingo are still up tomorrow morning, I'll tear them down.
