It's so frustrating! Why those murals cant be part of entertainment during the Games is beyond me. I've been to Winnipeg, the City Hall actually supports graffiti, check out this www.graffitigallery.ca. There is place for art in every city, why oppose them?
Shame on those who still dont get the power of street art.
