New Beach Boys Monument Is Vandalized
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The state historical landmark dedicated to the Beach Boys last month has already been the target of graffiti vandals.
The city quickly removed paint scrawled on the 119th Street monument and officials were considering a variety of security measures, including surveillance cameras, a fence or sealing it with a graffiti-resistant coating.
Beach Boys Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson grew up in Hawthorne. The Wilson home was demolished in the 1980s to make way for the Century Freeway.
