Proposed Mural at Lincoln and E Broughton

REVISED POSITION

The Historic Site and Monument Commission will hear a proposal to paint a mural on the west-facing wall of the Funky Brunch restaurant. The hearing will be held next Thursday Feb 5^th, at 4:00 PM at 112 E State Street.

WOW!!!! Based upon the almost immediate feedback that I am receiving from a broad swath of DNA membership, it would appear that I had misjudged the sentiment of our constituency. Therefore, DNA will be taking  an opposing stance on this mural.  The predominant objections are that the proposed mural does not reflect the Revolutionary War theme so dominant in the Northeast Wards. Further, it shows the figure on top of the Forsyth Fountain with a flowing cocktail glass when we just experienced an intoxicated driver recklessly wreck their car just down the street. I still encourage members to personally attend the hearing or send an email to the Commission with your thoughts. In the past, public response to these hearings (especially from close-by neighbors in the adjacent wards) has impacted board decisions. Emails may be sent to: historic@thempc.org To arrive in time for consideration, they should be sent by February 3rd. Paul CobetPresident, Downtown Neighborhood Association Savannah, GA Inc.
