Yeah, that corner really could use one. Blame the city for tearing down the end unit in the set of rowhouses (for the never-finished Benton St expansion) decades ago and leaving us with a concrete block wall.
The challenge now is that the person owning (what is now) the last rowhouse owns that wall. And few people would be willing to spend the money to put a huge mural on the side of their housing units. If it were even a condo building it might be easier, but the rowhouses are freehold so it's one person. Unless the city were to make amends decades later and offer to pay for a nice mural, I expect we'll be stuck with that wall of concrete blocks.
