According to ILFA they are taking down the mural on Franklin and EPW tomorrow. Is there any way to buy a part of it? The panels are so beautiful!

    I believe the panels are free. The construction workers are just going to pry them off for people who want them. You may asked to buy a replacement piece of plywood to replace the one you want.....

    Also, I suspect the people who painted the murals should get first dibs on them if they are present and want them.

    You should come to Tuesdays mtg.

    Tuesday, May 15, 7:30 PM -The Gospel Tabernacle Church/725 Franklin Ave/Between Park Pl. and Sterling Pl.

    Update as per CHCA:

    If you want your panel- you must come tomorrow morning (Monday) at 8am  to get it. Talk to Tom on the construction crew- by the way- he was nice enough to give us a heads up that they were coming down.

    If you are there they will do their best to take the panel down with out damaging it too much.... If you want a panel that is not yours- that may be ok too....but check with the artist....If you can't come at 8am- you can come later- the panels will be set aside for the day- they just might not be in great shape.

    Seriously hoping that is tongue in cheek. I don't read Gothamist enough to know their angle.

    Gothamist is known for having provocative headlines. As much as I love such websites, I also mourn journalism's demise.

    ....speaking of provocative, could we call this new building The ProCro, but still refer to the neighborhood as western Crown Heights?

    No, we cannot call this new building the freaking ProCro. But heck, I finally moved out to Bed-Stuy in February after almost a decade in the neighborhood, so I have no say in it anymore. Speaking of which, everyone in Western CH should move out by us in Bed-Stuy, it feels very refreshingly like Western CH circa 2006. I sincerely hope it stays this way for a long time.

    I came by the old hood a few weeks ago to take pictures of my then 3 yr old daughter's contribution to this mural, just for posterity's sake. It was sad.
