WPCNR PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE DAY. By the White Plains Roving Photographer. November 13, 2010:
While on daily patrol around White Plains today, WPCNR’s man with a camera was shocked to see the colorful street mural, believed to be created by chid artists twenty years ago during the Del Vecchio administration — a colorful and cheery fixture that gladdened the senses was missing due to construction work on the former Corner Nook building. (The building is being readied for a hamburger restaurant.) It is unknown why the mural wall has been removed or if the mural was preserved to be reinstalled. In the third and fourth pictures below is what the mural looked like, compared to what it looks like this afternoon.
NOW.

GOODBYE ART OF THE CHILDREN? The mural painted sometime in the 80s, that livened up Main Street for a quarter of a century is gone. WPCNR is attempting to find out whether structural problems necessitated restoring the wall of the former Corner Nook building, (below) that the mural graced.
