Photographed by what must be millions of tourists, the New York mural at the entrance to SoHo on the corner of Houston Street and Broadway has been painted over. We’d assume that this was probably done at the request of Hollister – the new store leasing space in the building.

So, why is this an ‘iconic mural’ and not ”urban spam?’
Personally, I think a change is as good as a rest.

@Floyd Hayes – you could also argue that the chrystler building is only a building and should be torn down for a newer better apartment block.
Personally I hope that grafity artists come by and make a total mess of the new blank canvas….

Amazing how a piece of advertising becomes an iconic target for tourist photos!
