    These types of "murals" usually denote high-crime, low-income areas and are pretty unsightly......how about just make a nice landscaped playground and park?

    why does someone need to paint the side of a building or buildings to show the community has diversity? You need to just look around

    I agree legalatina those murals do look kind of BRIGHT and surely would be out of place in Pennsylvania. Not sure the public would go for that!

    They have one on one of our grade schools. They have smiling faces and kids dressed in ethnic dress, (black, latino, chinese, muslim, indian) and way off in corner by herself, the back of a blonde girl jumping rope. Kind of fits what apparently the new meaning of diversity is......anything not American.
