In the second time in two years, Guy Clark, the gentleman who sells flowers 15th and Noe Streets, had his stand vandalized. Yesterday, shit was smeared along the walls of Clark's makeshift flower shop along the sidewalk, and said poop was also used to spell out the n-word along the walls. No arrests have been made. Clark has been selling choice blooms at that spot for over 27 years, and the spot saw a similar attack occur back in 2007. (CBS 5)
