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.
