I haven't even been away two years yet and it feels like so much is missing already.Broadwinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03331708635231166631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136582055438505991.post-53765659461862692942011-08-01T22:58:29.710-05:002011-08-01T22:58:29.710-05:00Don't get me wrong; I'm not happy they had...Don't get me wrong; I'm not happy they had to take it down, but I received word from a source that the whole mural was in danger of falling off completely one day. Removal and restoration, which I hear is planned, will ensure it lasts for more time than its predecessor. With the underdrawing in place, it will make it feasible.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064334959354090683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136582055438505991.post-64855041499011203992011-08-01T21:31:38.830-05:002011-08-01T21:31:38.830-05:00Thanks for reporting, Chris.

I find it hard to believe that whatever the reason for taking it down, the aesthetic concerns of restoring the mural will win out over the economics of white paint. Isn't that what happened to the other side?Broadwinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03331708635231166631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136582055438505991.post-45754580503532618742011-08-01T15:52:35.005-05:002011-08-01T15:52:35.005-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Broadwinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03331708635231166631noreply@blogger.com
