Whether you love or hate he whales see on the David Broderick Tower by artist Wyland, they are now covered.

On Sunday, the whale mural was suddenly covered with an ad for Jeep vehicles. The ad was hoisted up completely covering the face of the East side elevation of the mural. Word is that the ad will provide $600,000 to go toward the restoration of the building into lofts ^[1].

Even though I never found the whales attractive at all, they sure look better then this ad. It has a poor choice of colors, and elements, not to mention the skyline is mirrored. I am all for the mural being covered for a short time if it helps cover renovation.
