Who ever decided this is a complete ass clown. Art/advertising. Who cares. That was an awesome mural – you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Who cares if its an AD. I support local businesses, If it was some AT & T mural i could understand, but this is a good thing, a nice thing. Bottom line is it needs to be there. Painting over it is stupid. Why is this city so hard up to destroy its culture. The lack of support for local business, local music and local art is disgusting.

The building is private property. Some comments on here talk about “code”. I understand how that works but I dont understand the difference between the mural (which is paint) and the city painting a big grey square on PRIVATE property. Am I the only one who thinks its the same thing? I want this on the cover of Creative Loafing and every other magazine in Atlanta. This is a fine example of the bullshit we put up with here in this city. People are starving, loosing jobs, loosing homes, Roads are going unpaved and parts of town are falling into decay, yet somehow they find money to paint over a decent mural and turn the wall into a big terd. In response to Danis comment about Houston, I’d rather live in a mural filled town and have some bad murals than have a government delegate what is acceptable and what is not. Where is it going to stop?

This is completely unacceptable. Another complete fail by the City of Atlanta. We are fighting an uphill battle to create any sense of community in this town – any sense of art. Atlanta continues to fail its good people left and right. I demand a public apology.

“code enforcement” is one of those useless jobs the taxpayer still has to put up money for…let’s face it, they only come out when someone calls the city in complaint…at least that’s been my experience…another example of the govt saving us from our selves….this is how it apparently manifests…

It wasn’t art. It was advertising

The reason zoning made them paint over it was because it wasn’t permitted. You need permits for signage in this town, thank god, or it would be Houston. I’m sure the KOP needs to follow city ordinances also.

Bye-Bye Adult Swim/PBR murals. If this rule applies to KoP, it applies to everyone else. Otherwise, ATL officials are full of #@$%.
