Northeast Philly graffiti taggers shockingly play right into stereotypes

The last few weeks, some of the haunts of my youth -- namely, the Knights Shopping Center and Academy Plaza, the shopping centers we hung at before when we were too lazy to walk to Franklin Mills -- have been struck by a gang of graffiti artists.

It's Northeast Philly, so it's probably not art, it's just some dudes writing "LINK" on the backs of strip malls. The cops are peeved, the workers at the strip malls are peeved, but fortunately they have some descriptions:

[I]nvestigators have a surveillance video of the group that took part in the first incident. The four graffitists appear to be white males in their late teens. One rode a bicycle and had baggy clothes.

Oh. That narrows it down.
