    @cat sitter. Well, there are two mascots in the mural. Does that count?

    Ugh.

    I would take that "Take Over!" as a redesign invitation for a revolution type image.

    Today they seemed to be using the lot for a film shoot. Now that the spaying & neutering is gone, it qualifies as "this could be anywhere."

    Good point, Jill. It really does look like anywhere now.

    Maybe the whole thing went up for the filming.

    EV, the mascots in the mural just don't make up for the lost cats and dogs. I miss my two-story tall Charlotte!
