Surge in graffiti vexes Dot Ave merchants

Several businesses along Dorchester Avenue have been hit hard by a wave of graffiti targeting their properties in recent weeks, an uptick that is prompting at least one company to re-consider its plans to open for business.

The rash of “tagging” has been centered in the Fields Corner and Glover’s Corner area, according to merchants and civic leaders, who are weighing new strategies to combat the problem.
