To be replaced by a park

Great shot Diane,eddie,

Well, at least it's not to be replaced by a parking lot!

I hope not!

I hope you mean a park with grass and trees and stuff..............and not a car park..!! Shame about the mural, but I suppose any street art will only last as long as the building it's on. I hope it's been documented by someone.

Not a parking lot/car park. We shall see how it turns out...

A pity but at least it's a park...

Yes, I hope it's a nice one and not just a vacant lot!

But perhaps a park is better?

A park is great, but it's just my opinion that the mural was a unique feature that deserved more effort to preserve. A small park was built in another vacant lot a few blocks away and it's amazingly dull - concrete, mostly - and it's always vacant. Then, there's Veteran's Park at the other end of Main, which is full of drunks sleeping under bushes. I just don't have much hope that another one will be creative or be a draw for families, customers for businesses, etc.

It sounds as if this may turn out better. Possibly he will make the place beautiful

If there is enough money for it!

I knew about this picture of timbers !
The wall falls, the photo remains...

I'll just enjoy my photos of it, I guess!

Better to have a park than building! =)

We shall see!

Looks like the lost mural was a blown-up B&W photograph from the glory days of the timber industry?

I assumed so. I'm not usually crazy about murals, because they often look amateurish in small towns, but that one was a winner!

I remember your photo of the mural. It was very close to the original old photo. Hoping for the best in this spot.

You'll eventually see a photo of the outcome...if there is an outcome! Thanks, Ronald!

That is a great mural of a time in history, people had a right to be upset .....Will be nice to see the new one ......Very interesting Diane, I'm always keen to learn of any history being wherever !!!

Thanks so much, Marj, the history here is very "wild west." In place of cowboys there were loggers. ;-)

At least a park is better than a parking lot, Have a nice day.

You're right about that! Happy Sunday to you, Peer!

They were good murals, though I'm not a fan of pictures on buildings.

Insufficient ambition. I know of a (redundant) railway signal box which was in the way of a track being added. The 320 ton building was relocated to where it remained part of the scenery but allowed the new track to be constructed.
