I took a little walk by the Petty's studio, and I sure wish the mural on the building could be restored. It's charming, and much nicer than most of the loud and attention-getting murals I see around town (not a fan of murals in general in the U.S.) It has become very sad and depressing to see what has happened to the downtown area over the past sixty years because I remember how lovely it was. It's pretty much lost its character, and once the heart of a downtown area is torn out, it cannot be fixed. So many truly beautiful buildings gone by way of the wrecking ball, and it's not progress when what replaces these structures isn't appropriate for the area. Yes, I am an arbiter of taste and culture, and my opinions are based on many years of observation and travel.
