The Urban Observer has previously discussed the above mural by William Walker. The news here is that the Chicago Public Art Group, led by Jon Pounds, has mounted an effort to save this fantastic work near Cabrini Green. Chicago Tribune columnist Mary Schmich writes about the effort in today's paper.

this is a wonderful piece. I can understand many being in favour of removing it. It's a tough call. Toronto has a graffiti eradication program going on now. The good is being lumped with the taggers. I have no answer

But this is NOT graffiti! It's a mural. I don't begin to understand how many would be in favour of removing it - except that this IS a nation that suffers from Alzhemier's historically and culturally.
