I live in JW, CAR has been painting over my neighbors murals this week next to my home. What was once a pretty bird and tree mural is now a sad plain beige color. What sucks even more is that they got beige over-spray all over our vehicles! I'm feeling really disappointed in RVA today. The vibrancy that once attracted me to moving here 7 years ago seems to be transforming into a cookie cutter NOVA hellscape at a disheartening rate. Hope City Council realizes that art in an arts district should be encouraged, not villainized. If concern is truly about it being in a historic neighborhood, then perhaps move the arts district location to a more welcoming part of town. *

Maybe the college of Bugs Bunny and Roy Lichenstein imagery evokes the civil right struggle as perceived by white kids who grew up taking ski trips and Bahamas vacations, but are now keeping it real by living in the city.
