Not to drag this issue through the mud again, but recently the notorious
Banksy wall was up for public view, and I couldn't help but think just how riled up this got people over it being absconded from the Packard Plant by the 555 gallery back in 2010. Personally, I found it ironic on many fronts. Urban explorers were outraged that someone had lifted it before they got the chance to see it in it's original context, yet how many "urbexers" walk out of buildings all over Detroit with souvenirs of their own? Just wondering why the fuss? I know I'm in the minority on this one.
