Chalk graffiti on barricades surrounding a park near vice presidential nominee JD Vance's Alexandria home was painted over Tuesday.
- The messages included phrases like "Harris 24" and "Not going back."
Catch up quick: Barricades went up around Judy Lowe Neighborhood Park in Del Ray last month to provide security for Vance, and it originally seemed the park would be indefinitely closed.
- This prompted Del Ray residents to throw it a "celebratory wake."
However, the park is now "operating on a modified schedule with intermittent closures," at the request of the Secret Service, according to the city of Alexandria.
- The barricades are rented and managed by Secret Service, Alexandria Mayor Justin Wilson tells Axios. "The city has no role in this."
- The Secret Service didn't immediately return Axios' request for comment.
