But don't let it stop you from having them, Urban Design! <BR/><BR/>I was just in Chicago, and was eating downtown in Macy's (formerly Marshall Fields - sigh) and had a great view of an awesome mural on a building that is right off of Michigan Ave., prominently and purposely displayed.<BR/><BR/>And what do you think that big lizard hanging in our downtown is supposed to emulate? Or the ugly Lightning hanging?<BR/><BR/>I think that murals are correctly associated with urban areas, not ghettos or inner city. The area where this business is located IS urban (hence the name). Urban does not = bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-76857506489453434862007-04-09T21:03:00.000-04:002007-04-09T21:03:00.000-04:00I think the problem may be the Murals are consider...I think the problem may be the Murals are considered "Inner City" or "Ghettoesque" <BR/><BR/>Personally, I would prefer the buildings be restored to their natural beauty show.

I think it is funny how Ybor City chased off their art commumnity, the Mayor is trying to throw millions into downtown to creat an "arts district" yet Seminole Heights has a HUGE and THRIVING artist community. I can name at least 30 well known artist, advertising agencies, design firms, etc that call Seminole Heights home. I wish the city would finally wake up and give this neighborhood the respect and attention it deserves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-77384365546070399002007-04-08T18:45:00.000-04:002007-04-08T18:45:00.000-04:00Hummm urban murals are passee?

It will make the area continue to look like a ghetto. Why not just make it look nice with proper painting, lighting, signage and lanscaping? <BR/>What does your company do, by the way?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
