"The definition of art is not one that can be resolved here, but a large segment of this community treasures the work in this area that gives it character and many feel that this is one of those works. The folks who have lived here for a long time are particularly sad and see it as another change to the face of Georgetown.

The owner of the heating oil company that was there, Mr. Perovich, used it for offices and storage and asked Louie to make this work for his building. He really felt that he was getting a work of art. More than 50 years later it is still there.

We love the idea of this project and look forward to the final result, but this wall should be respected and incorporated into the project. There is no need to tear down this small landmark"

I would add that in an informal survey of the residents surrounding this site that everyone was sad to see it torn down and had not heard that it was going to be.
