The Legacy of Love monument at the corner of Oak Lawn Avenue and Cedar Springs Road has been defaced with a marker. The slogans written are unclearly written. For example, one marking reads, “This crimes are outsid the right to abortion” and “Code Red. Crimes against humanity.” One threat reads: “Decla war wit Dallas police.” A particularly odd marking reads: “Arsones-cases intentioly seting families on fire.”
If past incidents are any indication, the monument will be power-washed to remove the graffiti. The Great Oak Lawn Fund maintains the monument. The fund is housed at Communities Foundation of Texas. Donations can be made here to help clean off the graffiti.

Yea, this is a homeless man who wrote all over an abandoned couch in my alleyway. Nothing made sense except a few statements towards sexual acts.
He’s a younger guy and I saw him sleeping there around 8 am each morning. Unfortunately, this is what happens when a local church within the block radius provides food with no services (i.e be clean and sober, attend a program, etc). The only one hurt is the tax payer.
The church you’re making unsubstantiated claims against does indeed offer shelter during adverse life threatening cold.
Pamela, you are correct they do that.
What I was implying is that they provide free food and shelter, with no prerequisites to receive such services, such as no drug use, attend a program etc.
This is what keeps this area packed with the mentally ill, drug addicted, and violet homeless. There are some that do not fall into that category, but it’s far and few in between d
