For any number of reasons, a mural may be removed. Sometimes, murals become unsustainable to keep up, or maybe a building will be purchased by a new owner and they may not wish a mural on their property. Mural Routes has been documenting murals for decades, and a record is kept here for those which are no longer accessible.
