The mural was whitewashed and destroyed. I was never notified directly by the city nor its officials, although they had been given my business card by the manager. We chalked it up as another injustice of many which we have experienced over the years. At least we had pictures and memories which will last a lifetime. As for the wall, gang graffiti continues to bombard the wall daily and the city comes out and sprays over it every once and a while.
Life goes on.
