Sometimes change hurts.

Back in 1992, I watched them paint this DKNY mural in Soho. I worked in the neighborhood and saw it every morning. (Soho in Manhattan.) I always liked it, and it grew on me after 9/11.

 

Abercrombie and Fitch now leases the building. I walked by last week just as they finished painting over the mural. It's now a large black wall.
