Buzzbuzzard: I don't think he corrects graffiti, I just think he is as perturbed as I am about how lazy the editing process has become lately at Gothamist, my favorite website. I am noticing every day, blatant errors which frankly, make me cringe.

Wasn't that in the movie Hair? Clean it up and turn over management to some community arts group which will program regular performances there.

If they are so concerned about hobos shacking up there, they just just use it more often. And why is it considered an eyesore? I like the way it looks.

From the Bowery Boys: Since then, the city has "make the best of a bad situation" (in then-parks commissioner Betsy Gotbaum's words) and kept the bandshell in business with regular summer concerts and dance performances. What's so bad about the situation? Though it may attract skells, it sounds as if the bandshell is still serving its intended purposes.
