The Effingham Daily News at 201 North Banker, Village Square Mall at 1910 South Banker, Baseball Card Connection at 313 West Jefferson and Draves Archery at 1707 Avenue of Mid America, as well as a vehicle parked at 1702 West Evergreen all had windows painted with an emblem. Window paint was used, though; no damage was reported.
