Yet another victim of civil prosperity :( An entire corner is coming down in Murray this week to make way for another [enter corporate chain name here], and down came a Greek retaurant that I remember going to from childhood. Soon to follow is one of Utah's oldest (if not original) sex shop, the French Lady. When the first building was demolished, there was revealed some interesting ads painted on a long-hidden wall.
Check out the sweet hand-painted lettering! I love those old fonts. On the top image in the upper-left corner there's a funny juxtaposition between the tail of a Coca Cola "C" and someone's lame tagging. And the thing that initially caught my eye was the wicked circus poster!
It's sad that historic districts are being plowed, but in a bittersweet turn we get to see some art we may have never seen. Doesn't mean we have to like it though... >:(
