I believe you have worn out your welcome in Chicago, Fred. ;-)

Seriously, my concern is that a number of young people are so deeply
entrenched in the "graffiti culture" that they will carve, paint and mark up
the cars' interiors beyond recognition.

I noticed modern style gang tagging scratched into some of the seatbacks in
one of OERM's PCCs (I believe it was LARy 3100) a few years ago. I figured
it was the moronic loser children or young gang banging parents of those
moronic loser children visiting the museum from L.A. or San Bernadino.
Charlie Brown (of Long Beach Transit fame) informed me that the mothers of
the twerps living in the apartments that have encroached upon the land
surrounding the museum have been known to give the little darlings money and
send them off for a "train ride" so they can have some private time with
"Uncle Whoever" is living with them that week.
