Egads! E Smoke shop demolishes 7th Street mural


[Photo from May 2]

Earlier this spring, new owners took over the 7th Street Village Farm on the southwest corner of First Avenue and Seventh Street... and a few readers wondered if the owners of its replacement, E Smoke & Convenience shop, would keep the murals on the Seventh Street side of the building.

An EVG reader shared this photo today... not really a good sign...



No word on the fate of the MCA tribute by @cramcept that's also on the store's property.

I hope they know what they're doing, when it comes to the building's structural integrity.

Greed... and stupidity. These are interlopers who come to the EV to make money. It's just a business deal and that's their space and they'll use it to make mo-nae.

When you open a business respect the community.

Horrendous sign.

May their business end as quickly as it began.

Sorry all, this is their property--and maybe they don't appreciate graffiti art. Interlopers? Are you sure cmarrty? I have no idea who the owners are nor where they live. Are the EV thought police now going to demand that store owners must live within--you supply the number of feet from their businesses? Grow up. Let people run their business they way they want to. You don't like what they did? Have the courage to go in and ask they why they did it.

Why demolish the wall? If you don’t like the mural paint over it. It is cheaper and safer, what will happen if the building falls?

Ugly sign to accompany a questionable product. No one knows how harmful vaping is. But rest assured that inhaling nicotine with all the attendant chemical additives is not safe for children and other living things. I'm waiting for organic e-liquids (they call them "juices") for use in e-cigarettes. Oh, they are already selling such things . . .

So they have a building/demolition permit for this? Someone should report them.

Egads people! This "mural" was not exactly the Sistine Chapel.

E Smoke is a chain store. That's why they're interlopers. They care about profits not the neighborhood.
