Reply to comment by Dryheavemorning in The History of Immigration mural has been painted over. by joshuaferris

Porque no los dos?

I drive by this every work day. It's been graffiti covered for months. You don't have to paint over a mural to knock a building down.

Fair, but I think the mindset was they'd rather be seen painting over the mural than taking a wrecking ball to the Native Americans' and immigrants' faces. A lot of these are painted over prior to demo. Why would they care about graffiti on it since it's about to be demolished.

I think its more out of respect. How would it look throwing a wrecking ball through it or attaching explosives to "The History of Immigration?"
