Now it is the artistic civil pride and symbol of GR. It was the same with, if you'll believe it, the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower(s). People are so resistant. I am an artist and think that the "professionals" ought to join in the conversation but remember that their opinions are merely that...as educated as they are.
