Bob Marvin of PLG Arts wrote to us with pictures of a community mural installed at the site of a stalled development project—the 20-story glass tower planned by developer Henry Herbst and Gilman Architects that first hit the presses back in March 2008. The mural, along the fencing of the site, was a collaboration between local artists, students from the Maple Street School, and the community at large, in an effort to reclaim what had become a neighborhood eyesore. Mr. Marvin says that, although the proposed tower seems too high, he has no quarrel with Herbst’s Park Tower Associates: they consulted the neighborhood concerning their proposed development, and they allowed PLG Arts to use their fencing for this mural project. The one thing they asked, in fact, was that no panel of the mural be offensive to any religious or ethnic group. We haven’t had the chance to bike by yet, but from the photos the mural looks spectacular! GMAP
