cyndiloucruise Posted April 22, 2013 #8 Share Posted April 22, 2013 These are great! I'm on the fence though about a few. Both Rockaway Beach and Fire Island sustained substantial damage during Sandy. As a Native New Yorker (but not of either town), I initially got pangs of pain because it reminded me that Rockaway and Fire Island got really slammed (decimated in some spots). Perhaps some consideration may have been given. Thoughts from fellow New Yorkers' are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rydan Posted April 22, 2013 Author #16 Share Posted April 22, 2013 We cant hold places as hallowed ground every time because something bad happened there. Painting a mural depicting names of places that are still there, but damaged and calling it insensitive is like forgetting a loved one who has passed on, and never showing a picture or talking about them because it is too difficult to deal with. I think it's nostalgic and wonderful, please rethink your feelings on this. It's the fond memories of the past people or events in our lives that make us who we are. Embrace what you had, not what you lost... Warmest regards, Rydan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps some consideration may have been given. Thoughts from fellow New Yorkers' are welcome. Not a fellow NY'er, but from a beach town also decimated by Sandy. I would LOVE to see any local affected area represented. We (all of us NJ towns hit hard) are proud and happy to be rebuilding - so long as the looky-loos stay away long enough for us to do so ;)! I'm very jealous - as NY's ugly stepsister, we are only known for our Snookie's and such lol... Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bars7816 Posted April 22, 2013 #24 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Maybe those artists could re-paint the hull art. ;) I'm just not going to think about it anymore. Can't do a thing about it now.

mommyto2girls Posted April 23, 2013 #25 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Native New Yorker here..love the Peter Max artwork and love all of the artwork that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy about the places I love. It is all a wonderful tribute to a great place to have grown up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
