Recently we repainted the “First Responders” mural designed by jill_arena and painted by Cyd Smillie to honor the brave 911 First Responders. Without any notice we see it being painted over. Please know, this removal was not done by us nor was it done with our knowledge. Murals are a temporary art form but the respect we have for first responders lives on.
