It may look like art to some, but Corbin police say it's actually a big nuisance.

Now, they're looking for the people responsible for spray painting graffiti on public property around town.

The Times Tribune reports the graffiti has shown up on several buildings and the Roy Kidd Avenue underpass. Police say some of it included obscene gestures and language.

No arrests have been made.

what if you walked out early one morning to find a unexpected big bright surprise paint slinger slosh work on the front of your house ? And the paint slinger never even signed you would have a work by a unknown paint slinger dont blaim the peace officers if I were a Judge when and if this paint slinger was found a proper punishment would be to have to paint a and clean up any dirty parts of the city like old garbage cans or old wooden buildings that the paint had faded just a general prettying up of the town in the color the court thinks is beautiful.

Wow, graffiti on an underpass a nuisance? A nuisance to who? I, for one, think the graffitists are simply pointing out that this spot isn't being used to its full potential. Let the kids legally paint real art there and you are killing several birds with one stone. Quite simple really. ...but it will never happen due to the "get off my lawn" types.

Real criminals and crimes would be more worthwhile.
