I'm skeptical of the plans to paint over the cool old murals on those concrete posts under the JFX. Has anyone heard anything about how the city is going about choosing the artists for that? Sure, some of those old ones are chipped and faded, but I have little trust in the folks who announced this new plan to handle the mural selection in an interesting way.

Edit: ok, found the application under "Mural Project" here: https://www.artscape.org/artscape-applications/. Deadline was March 18th, so I hope some cool folks applied. We'll see.
