Don't lose Whitefish

To the residents of Whitefish: do you folks have any idea of what you have here? I'll tell you. It's a place where life and beauty come together as one.

Most of my life was spent in a big city in the midwest. I was the owner of rental property. Big city and rental property go hand in hand. Together they mean local noise, screaming, horn's blowing, graffiti on the wall and other assorted crap.

It's the graffiti I want to mention here. If you don't know what I'm talking about today, you will tomorrow.

This past weekend while driving around Whitefish I was dismayed, to say the least, to see fresh graffiti on several buildings including the Post Office and Safeway.

I'm not sure what you can do about it. But I do know what you have here is becoming rare. Don't lose it.
