On 3 Jun 2022, the vandal struck again, however, this time Chris Westbrook, the keeper of the paint, did a fast response repaint, so that the vandalism was painted over, and the integrity of the original design was restored in less than a day. You can see all of this in the video below shot by SoCal Stair Climbers on one of their Painted Stairways Tours that feature #staircandy, and other artworks on stairways in the Silver Lake area.
Since June of 2022, Chris and his team of volunteers have beautifully maintained the #staircandy artwork, and Chris has also been doing maintenance work on the #stairtempo (piano keys) artwork on the Murray Drive stairway! We stair-walkers owe him a debt of gratitude.
